Meaning & origin
Mansoor has appeared consistently on U.S. records since at least 1975, but it remains relatively uncommon. In its peak year of 2020, the name saw its highest usage, though it still ranked below the top 8,000. Its trajectory has been stable, showing no dramatic rise or fall in recent decades. While the name does not concentrate strongly in any single state, it tends to be more common in areas with larger Muslim American populations. For parents seeking a name with deep religious and cultural resonance, Mansoor offers a dignified choice with a clear meaning and a long international history.
Mansoor is a direct Arabic masculine given name derived from the active participle of the root n-s-r (to help, to give victory). It literally means 'one who is helped to victory' or 'victorious'. The name has been used across the Muslim world for centuries, borne by numerous historical figures including caliphs and generals. Its usage in the United States among Muslim families and others has grown in recent decades.
