Mastourah is Arabic in Origin.

Mastourah (Arabic: مستورة, translit. Mastūra) is a feminine given name of Arabic origin derived from the root s‑t‑r (satara, “to cover, shield”). As the feminine passive participle, it literally means “covered/veiled,” and by extension “modest, protected, dignified, kept from harm.” In Islamic ethics the term evokes God’s satr - merciful concealment of faults - so the name carries connotations of honor, privacy, and moral reserve.

Used across the Arab world and Muslim communities, the name appears in North Africa, the Levant, the Horn of Africa, and entered Persian- and Urdu-speaking milieus through Islamic influence. Common variants reflect regional phonetics and transliteration: Mastura, Mastoura, Mestoura, Masturah, Mastoora, and Mastoorah. While never among the most popular pan-Arab names, it has been steady in traditional families and in Sufi-influenced circles as a marker of piety and respectability. Related masculine adjectives include Mastur (“veiled, discreet”) and Sattar (“Concealer”), though these are used differently as names.
