Meaning and origin of Nasira
Nasira (Nāṣira) is the girls' form of Nāṣir and describes a woman who stands by and helps others. The root n-ṣ-r also gives naṣr, victory, and anṣār, the Quranic word for the Madinan helpers of the Prophet ﷺ. That connection lends the name a sense of loyal support. Families in South and Central Asia and in some Arab countries use it, with Naseera and Nassira as other spellings.
