I received a mail from a dear friend far away from a Scandinavian country, and it really has made my day :) Thank you Nadia :)
In here, Mustika is a name that refers to a precious stone, something like diamond, but the unpolished one. We call it “berlian” for the polished one. So I think it’s really good to know that this unpolished diamond can also mean something nice like blueberry.
A dear sister from Finland also ever commented about my blueberry name a while ago;
Have a nice weekend everyone! I am fully booked by my mother so I'll spend these two free days hanging out with her, always love the way she caresses my hair warmly, that's what I call Home (though she always talks about my younger brother).
And so as today, early in the morning, we went to bookstore hunting for new good books, bought groceries and ended up having lunch. I gave myself a novel titled Samudra Pasai by Putra Gasa. Samudra Pasai was the first Indonesia's Islamic kingdom established in 13th century at Aceh, Sumatera Island. I hope this novel would be as great as Yin Galema by Ian Sancin that I have read before. Yin Galema itself is a good lifestory of a little girl from China that adding my knowledge about Balok sultanate in Belitong Island existed in 16th and 17 century.
...it crossed my mind that you probably don't know that your name Mustika Sari means something also in Finnish. Mustika (in Finnish mustikka) means "blueberry" and Sari is quite com´mon womens' name. Every time I hear from you, it reminds me of that delicious berry :). You have got beautiful name.As I said back to her, I am happy to know that my Indonesian name will have a very beautiful meaning in her native language.

...if you introduce yourself to anyone from my country, they'll love your name too! it means blueberry in my language! actually it's spelled mustikka, but the difference in the pronouncing is minor, so the word is still recognizeable, even if it's spelled with one k. actually this is how most foreigners spell and pronounce it when they start to study finnish :DAh many thanks Sisters! You two have brightened my day. I wonder if this word could mean something else more in other country's language :D
