What is the meaning of the name Nusret ?

The baby name Nusret is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /nusˈɾet/ (NOOS-ret).

Nusret is Arabic, Bosnian in Origin.

Derived from Arabic nusrah/nusrat (نصرة/نصرت), from the root n-s-r "to help, grant victory," Nusret in Turkish conveys "succor, victory, divine assistance." In Ottoman and modern Turkish, nusret is a common abstract noun meaning triumph aided by God, giving the given name a virtuous, aspirational tone across Muslim communities.

The name spread through Ottoman influence into the Balkans and parts of the Caucasus, remaining in steady use among Turks, Bosniaks, and Albanians. It appears in historical and military contexts (notably the Ottoman minelayer Nusret of the 1915 Canakkale campaign) and today is recognized worldwide via chef Nusret Gokce. Cross-linguistic variants include Nusrat (Arabic, Urdu), Nosrat (Persian), Nasrat (Pashto/Dari), and less commonly Nusrath; related forms from the same root are Nasr and the agent-noun Nasir/Nasser. Feminine counterparts are typically Nusrat/Nosrat, and in Bosnian also Nusreta.
