Mansour

Meaning of Mansour

Mansour is a masculine name of Arabic origin meaning “victorious” or “one who is granted victory,” long associated with leaders, scholars and historic figures across the Arabic-speaking world. In English usage it is rendered as MAN-soor (Arabic man-SOOR, /mænˈsʊər/), preserving its distinctive two-syllable stress. An analysis of U.S. birth data reveals a steady, if modest, presence: after a peak ranking of 689 in 1985, Mansour has oscillated between the mid-600s and low-900s over the past forty years, most recently placing 914th with ten newborns in 2024. This consistency indicates that while the name remains uncommon, it reliably appeals to parents seeking a choice that combines cultural depth with contemporary rarity—there won’t be a crowd of Mansours in the schoolyard, but those who bear it carry a legacy of triumph.
