Hebrew at root, from a word for "helper". Fewer than sixty men in Poland carry it and no boys received it last year, so meeting one would stay with you.

What Nasir means
Where Nasir comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Nasir grows from a Hebrew root tied to helping and support. Arabic carried the name into wide use, where the form nāṣir means helper and protector. That older sense holds. A helper.
One bearer anchors the name in history. Nasir al-Din al-Tusi, a thirteenth-century Persian astronomer and mathematician, built an observatory at Maragha and reshaped how scholars charted the stars. His work in geometry and optics outlived him by centuries. The name marked a man who pushed knowledge forward, which suits a word for one who helps.
On a Polish class register, Nasir sits among the Jakubs and Zuzannas as a newer arrival, brought by families with roots beyond Poland. It has no fixed imieniny in the Polish calendar. Children carry it plainly, and teachers learn it fast. The meaning stays close to them, helper.
