Mastoor (مستور) is an attested personal name drawn from Arabic and Persian lexical material meaning 'hidden', 'covered', or 'veiled', from the root س‑ت‑ر (to cover). In South Asian and Pashto-speaking Muslim communities it has been used as a given name or pen-name; linguistic usage emphasizes concealment, protection, or modesty rather than secrecy in a negative sense. The name is rare in contemporary onomastics but authentic as a lexical borrowing turned personal name. For readers exploring related forms, see [[Mastana]] and [[Mustafa]] for differing roots and usages: Mastana is Persianate and devotional in tone while Mustafa is prophetic in origin. Mastoor is particularly suitable for parents seeking a concise name with a clear Arabic/Persian etymology and attested regional usage.
