Around the world, טאבו (Tabu 
, טאבו 
) is a common dominantly female, but uncommonly male first name. The given name טאבו is habitual in Tanzania, where it is quite a common primarily female, but very infrequently boy's name, Oman, where it is a rare girly name, and Cameroon, where it is a rare boy's name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is commonest in Tanzania, India, and Cameroon. Much less frequently, טאבו is the last name as well as the forename.
