Aasir is a masculine name of Arabic origin, pronounced AH-seer (/ˈæsɪər/), whose root in the word for “captive” has been reinterpreted by contemporary parents as a testament to resilience. In the United States, Aasir has hovered near the 900th rank on Social Security lists, with annual tallies ranging from six births in quieter years to fifty-one at its 2018 peak and 25 newborns in 2024 (rank 899). Its crisp, vowel-driven phonetics integrate smoothly into Romance-language contexts, driving modest uptake among Latinx families from Miami to Los Angeles. By blending a classical Arabic lineage with modern appeal, Aasir offers parents a distinctive choice that bridges tradition and personal empowerment.
