Nasir ud-Din is Arabic, Islamic in Origin.
Nasir ud-Din is an Arabic honorific-turned-given name from Nāṣir al-Dīn (ناصر الدين), literally “supporter/defender of the faith,” where Nāṣir means helper and al‑Dīn means religion; the Indo‑Persian connector ud reflects assimilation of al in South Asian usage. The compound has long circulated across Arabic-, Persian-, Turkic-, and Urdu-speaking societies as both a laqab and personal name, borne by scholars and rulers such as Naṣīr al‑Dīn al‑Ṭūsī and several Mamluk and Delhi sultans.
Spellings vary widely by language and transcription: Nasir al‑Din/ad‑Din, Naser or Nasser al‑Din; fused forms Nasiruddin/Naseeruddin; Maghrebi Nacer Eddine/Nassereddine; Persian Naseroddin; and Turkish-influenced Nasreddin (strictly from Nasr al‑Dīn, “victory of the faith,” a related but distinct name). Common short forms include Nasir/Nasser. The name conveys steadfast religious service and protection, making it a dignified, classical choice with cross-cultural recognition.
Nasir ud-Din turns up in none of the birth registries or name datasets we cover. That's typically a sign of a rare name, a regional or traditional one, or a modern coinage. Either way, it remains a genuinely rare choice.
