History & Origin

Nasirah is the feminine of the Arabic Nasir, drawn from the root n-s-r, 'to help' or 'to grant victory,' and understood as 'helper, supporter' or 'victorious.' It is a genuine, dignified Arabic name rather than a coinage, part of a long tradition of virtue names.

In American records Nasirah appears chiefly in the two-thousands among Muslim families, given to only about fifteen girls a year at its peak and remaining rare. A girl named Nasirah then would be in her twenties today.

Did you know? Nasirah shares its root, n-s-r ('to help, to give victory'), with the male name Nasir and with words for aid and triumph across the Arabic-speaking world - a root all about lending strength.
