, Shihab 
, Shahab , and others...) is a widespread predominantly boy's, but scarcely feminine first name. The forename شهاب is habitual in Oman, where it is a common principally masculine, but scarcely girly name, Egypt, where it is quite a common primarily male, but very infrequently female name, and Tunisia, where it is quite a common male name (explore the name in all countries). Not in comparison with a country's population, the name is most common in Egypt, Bangladesh, and Iraq. Likewise, شهاب is the last name as well as the forename.
