Most beautiful, most excellent, the superlative form of hasan (good, beautiful, fine). From the Quranic root ح-س-ن (hasuna, to be beautiful, to be good). Ahsan means not merely beautiful but the most beautiful, the highest quality of beauty.
The word is foundational in the Quran. Allah created the human being 'in the most beautiful form (ahsani taqwim)' (95:4). He revealed 'the most beautiful of stories (ahsana al-qasas)' in the Surah of Yusuf (12:3). The believer is told to argue 'in the way that is best (allati hiya ahsan)' (16:125) and to repel evil 'with that which is better (allati hiya ahsan)' (41:34). The whole Quranic ethic is captured in the word: not merely good, but the best of what is good.
Ahsan as a name calls the boy to that standard: not the bare minimum of doing well, but the maximum, the ihsan that the Prophet defined as 'worshipping Allah as if you see Him' (Hadith Jibril, Bukhari & Muslim).
