The question text was not published separately; the title stands in for it.

1.What does the word An Naas (the final surah of Qura’an) mean someone said it has 52 meanings is this true. And does Nabi mean the one with knowledge of the unknown.

Answer

1. The meaning of An-naas is people. We are not aware of the other 51 meanings of An-naas, even after consulting Arabic dictionaries.

2. The root word of ?Nabi? is ?Nabaa? which means to inform. The word refers to a prophet who informs people of the orders of Allah. It has reference of knowledge of the unknown.
