Mustafa Name Details

Mustafa is an Arabic name that has a significant religious and historical background. It comes from the Arabic root word 'safw' which means 'pure' or 'selected'. The name 'Mustafa' is highly revered in Islamic traditions as it is one of the epithets of the Prophet Muhammad. It is believed to have been given to him by his grandfather, Abdul-Muttalib, as a mark of his distinguished qualities. As a result, Mustafa became an honorary title for the Prophet Muhammad and is widely used as a given name for boys in Muslim-majority countries.
