Around the world, באלו (Ballu 
, באלו 
) is a common principally male, but scarcely female forename. The first name באלו is habitual in India, where it is quite a rare principally boy's, but very infrequently female name, Qatar, where it is quite a rare boy's name, and Kuwait, where it is a rare boy's name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is the most numerous in India, Saudi Arabia, and United Arab Emirates. Much less frequently, באלו is the last name as well as the forename.
