My surname is Mustafa, and although I don't hear of it much except within my family, in Cyprus and Turkey it is apparently as prevalent as Smith is in England. It means 'The Chosen One' and many people gave their children the surname as a way to honour Mustafa Ataturk Kemal who is considered the founder of contemporary Turkey. This explains its popularity in modern day Turkey.

My grandfather's parents gave him the surname Mustafa even though their own was Hussein, as he was born around the time of Ataturk's prevalence.

The name Mustafa was given to 233 boys born in the US in 2016.

This name is also used in Turkey.
