Around the globe, Meșter (Mester , Magister , Meister ) is a common masculine given name. The forename Meșter is habitual in Northern Africa, particularly Morocco, where it is quite a common male name, Tunisia, where it is quite a common primarily boy's, but very infrequently feminine name, and Algeria, where it is quite a rare predominantly male, but scarcely female name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is commonest in Northern Africa, particularly Morocco, Egypt, and Algeria. More prevalently, Meșter is the last name as well as the forename.
Meșter is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Meister Eder , character in Meister Eder und sein Pumuckl; Meister Fior , the operatic character in the opera Operetka; Meister Steffen , the operatic character in the opera Hans Sachs; Meister Sólyom , the operatic character in the opera Bánk bán and Meister Stott , the operatic character in the opera Hans Sachs, among other works.
