There is quite a lot more written about the name *Mustafa*.

Mu?s?tafa is among the most popular personal names in the Islamic world. In Turkey, it is often chosen in honor of Mustafa Kamal Atatürk (1881–193smilies/cool.gif, founder of modern Turkey.

Spanish (of Arabic origin): from the Arabic personal name (see 1 above).
