The name Hassoan carries a special meaning:
"Hachi" (八) comes from the address number 88. In Japan, the number eight is considered auspicious, symbolizing prosperity, growth, and good fortune.
"So" (草) means "grass." Inspired by the resilient plants that thrive on the property, it represents strength and perseverance.
"An" (庵) means a simple retreat or small dwelling.
Together, the name expresses our wish for enduring prosperity and resilience.
