Around the world, شمة (شمة 
, Shma 
) is quite a rare female given name. The forename شمة is habitual in Western Asia, particularly United Arab Emirates, where it is a rare girly name, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia, where it is a rare gender-neutral name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is commonest in India, Iraq, and United Arab Emirates. Very seldom, شمة is the last name as well as the forename.
