Meaning & origin

Nasra is a rare Arabic name that entered U.S. records in 2000, and has been rising steadily since 2003. Its rank of 6,116 in 2025 makes it a distinctive choice, with only about 1 in 84,593 newborn girls receiving the name. The peak year was 2017, and it is most commonly used in Minnesota among the top states. While the exact meaning is debated between 'victory' and 'helper,' the name's connection to the root n-s-r gives it a strong, supportive connotation. Its rarity and upward trajectory suggest it may be gaining attention among families seeking a meaningful yet uncommon name.

Nasra is an Arabic feminine name derived from the root n-s-r, which carries meanings of victory, aid, and support. It is related to the masculine name Nasir and the concept of 'nasr' (triumph). The name has been used across the Arabic-speaking world and among Muslim communities, though it remains relatively uncommon in the United States.
