Around the globe, Роте (Rothe 
, Роте 
) is a rare dominantly male, but uncommonly female given name. The forename Роте is characteristic of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where it is a rare masculine name, South Africa, where it is a very rare gender-neutral name, and Philippines, where it is a very rare largely girly, but infrequently male name. Not in comparison with a country's population, the name is most common in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, India, and China. Much more frequently, Роте is the last name as well as the forename.
