Moustafa is a first name for boys.
Recently, the name Moustafa has been given only a handful of times a year and is therefore particularly rare, at least in the US. In recent years, not even one boy in 100,000 has been named Moustafa. That means that a boy named Moustafa is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name his whole life. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Moustafa.

By comparison, there have been 108 years in which the first name Moustafa has not been given at all (or less than 5 times, which is the minimum number required for a name to be included in the statistics), most recently in 2022. In general, parents name their sons Moustafa only once in a blue moon, so boys and men with this name can consider themselves exceptional!

However, we must admit that a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it’s quite possible that there are still a few men and boys called Moustafa living in one state or another.

And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 16 men going by that name.
