Name meaning and origin

Nusrat derives from the root n-s-r in Arabic, meaning victory, triumph, help, and support; the same root is also related to the words mansur (victorious) and nasir (helper). The root appears in the Quran as well: the first verse of Surah An-Nasr begins with 'When Allah's help and victory come' (Quran, 110:1).

In Azerbaijan, Nusrat has historically been established as a boy's name; its most famous bearer is the poet Nusrat Kəsəmənli, born in Agstafa in 1945, whose love poems were set to dozens of songs. Since its meaning is positive and clear from a religious perspective, there is no obstacle to choosing it as a name.
