Reference Profile

Etymology

From the Arabic root ู†-ุต-ุฑ (n-แนฃ-r, 'to help, grant victory'), an intensive form. Nassar means 'great helper, granter of victory.'

Notable Historical Usage

Arabic builds its vocabulary on consonantal roots, usually of three letters, poured into fixed patterns: one root yields the verb, the doer, the thing done and the place it happens. Names are drawn straight from that system, which is why a single root can stand behind a whole family of related names that look and sound like kin.
