Yaasir
Meaning of Yaasir
Yaasir is a masculine Arabic given name, pronounced yah-SEER (/jɑːˈsɪər/), etymologically anchored in the triliteral root Y-S-R, which conveys notions of “ease” and “prosperity.” Historically attested in early Islamic tradition—most notably borne by Yāsir ibn ʾAmr, one of the first converts—the name carries both linguistic precision and cultural resonance. In the United States, Social Security Administration records from 2006 through 2023 document annual occurrences ranging from five to ten male births, yielding popularity ranks between 878 and 935; the most recent data for 2023 show seven registrations (rank 922). This stability, characterized by marginal year-to-year variation, reflects a sustained yet selective embrace of Yaasir within Anglo-American naming conventions, where parents often seek a distinctive appellation underpinned by clear semantic heritage.
