Worldwide, Виру (Viru 
, Veeru 
, Виру 
) is a common primarily male, but scarcely female forename. The first name Виру is characteristic of Antigua and Barbuda, where it is quite a common male name, India, where it is quite a rare largely masculine, but seldom female name, and Mauritius, where it is quite a rare boy's name. Measured by absolute frequency, it is commonest in India, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia. Very seldom, Виру is the last name as well as the forename.
