How popular is مصطفى

[alpha]

Can any Arabic speakers tell me please how popular is the name مصطفى (Mustafa) and is it more popular as a first name or last name?

thanks

[Muhammad Mustafa]

very popular name, as both first and last name
مصطفى <i>(or tobe very accurate المصطفى) </i>is a very popular name for Muslims Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), as Prophet's (PBUH) real name is Muhammad he had other names and المصطفى is one of them, that's why this name is <i>very</i> popular, you will find even non-Arabic muslim use this name, its popular enough to be a very good (names) domain after محمد & أحمد
good luck ;)
