almaany.com defined منصور as 'divinely aided'. A literal meaning of the word from Almawrid Arabic-English dictionary defined it as 'supported', 'aided' or 'assisted'. Hope this helps. Also as vedaxcool commented, I suggest you follow this link to have a better picture of the relation btw many Arabic names and yoruba nameshttp://www.farooqkperogi.com/2014/07/top-10-yoruba-names-you-never-guessed.html

Mansur (Arabic: منصور‎, Manṣūr; also spelled Mansoor, Mansour, Monsour, Mansyur or Mensur) is a male Arabic name that means "victorious", from the Arabic root naṣr (نصر), meaning "victory." The first known bearer of the name was Al-Mansur, second Abbasid caliph and the founder of Baghdad.
