Gassur is Biblical in Origin.

Gassur is a rare masculine name best explained as a dialect-influenced spelling of the Arabic jasūr, an adjective in Classical Arabic meaning “brave, bold, daring.” It stems from the root J-S-R associated with courage (jasāra “boldness”). In Egyptian and some Levantine pronunciations, the Arabic letter j (jīm) can sound like a hard g, yielding Latinized forms such as Gassur, Gasur, or Gasser. The doubled s simply reflects emphasis in transliteration and does not change the sense.

Use of the underlying form is longstanding in Arabic, with modern given-name popularity most visible as Jasur in Central Asia (Uzbek/Tajik) and as Cesur in Turkish. Related or regional variants include Jasur, Jasoor, Jasir/Jaser (a near-synonymous Arabic name), Cesur (Turkish), Gaser/Gasser, and Gasur. Across languages, the core meaning remains consistently positive: “courageous, valiant, enterprising.”
