Nusrat is Arabic in Origin.

Nusrat is an Arabic unisex name from the root N-Ṣ-R (nasr), denoting help, support, and victory; it echoes the Qur’anic theme of divine aid (Surah al-Nasr). In Arabic, the related verbal noun is nusrah/nuṣra, while the Persian-Urdu form fixed as Nusrat (نصرت) became standard across South Asia. The name conveys triumph achieved through assistance, often interpreted as God-given success.

Usage spans the Middle East, Iran, Turkey, and the Indian subcontinent. In Turkey, the masculine variant appears as Nusret; Persian transliteration often yields Nosrat, and Pashto/Dari favor Nasrat. Well-known bearers include Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, iconic Pakistani singer, Begum Nusrat Bhutto, and British MP Nusrat Ghani - evidence of its cross-gender adoption. Diminutives are rare, but compounds such as Nusrat Jahan (“victory of the world”) are common in Bengali and Urdu. Related names include Nasr, Nasir (“helper”), and the feminine Nusrah.
