Mastanabal (Numidian: MSTNB; Punic: 𐤌𐤎𐤕𐤍𐤏𐤁𐤀, MSTNʿBʾ)^[1]^[2] was one of three legitimate sons of Masinissa, the King of Numidia, a Berber kingdom in, present day Algeria, North Africa. The three brothers were appointed by Scipio Aemilianus Africanus to rule Numidia after Masinissa's death.^[3]

His name in Numidian was written as "MSTNB" which Salem Chaker gave its possible reconstruction as "Amastan (a)B(a)", which could mean "defender/protector (a)b(a)".^[4]
