Nassar is an Arabic masculine given name and surname from the root n-s-r, meaning to help, support, or grant victory. In Arabic morphology it can represent the intensive form nassar, denoting one who greatly helps, so its sense is champion, supporter, or bringer of victory. In practice it is also treated as a spelling of Nasir/Naser with the same positive connotations.

The name is used across the Arab world and the wider Muslim diaspora, and also occurs as a family name among Levantine Christians and Muslims. Medieval rulers bore the honorific al-Nasir, and the spelling Nasser became globally familiar through Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasser. Variants and related forms include Nasir, Naser, Nasser, Nasar, and Nasr; feminine counterparts are Nasira and Nasra; extended compounds include Nasiruddin. Persian and Turkish spellings adapt to local scripts and often simplify the emphatic consonant, which explains multiple transliterations.
