Havsa is a district town and a district in the north of the Turkish province of Edirne .
The town

Earlier names were Hasköy and Havas-i Mahmud Paşa ("private property of Mahmut Pasha"). Evliya Çelebi named the place Hafsa and explained that this was the name of a well-known woman named Hafsa Hatun who lived there.
