In all the world, مهاتما (Mohandas , Mahatma , مهاتما) is a common predominantly masculine, but scarcely girly first name. The forename مهاتما is characteristic of Western Asia, particularly Oman, where it is quite a rare masculine name, United Arab Emirates, and Bahrain. Not in comparison with a country's population, the name is most common in India, Saudi Arabia, and United Arab Emirates. Much less frequently, مهاتما is the last name as well as the forename.
