Asir
Meaning of Asir
Asir, pronounced ah-SEER (/aːˈsɪr/), is a male name of Arabic origin derived from the root ʾ-s-r (أسر), which literally means “captive” but is traditionally understood as “one who captivates” or “enchanter.” It also carries geographic resonance with Saudi Arabia’s Asir Province, a region celebrated for its dramatic highlands and cultural heritage. In the United States, Asir first entered the Social Security Administration’s top 1,000 names in 2003 at rank 822 and has since maintained a steady, if modest, presence—most recently ranking 893rd in 2024 with 31 registered births. Its combination of meaningful roots, distinctive sound, and understated strength makes Asir an appealing choice for parents seeking a name that bridges cultural depth and individuality.
