In all the world, সাওদা (Saudah 
, Sawda 
, সাওদা ) is quite a rare predominantly female, but scarcely boy's first name. The first name সাওদা is habitual in Brunei, where it is quite a rare girly name, Somalia, and Indonesia, where it is a rare dominantly feminine, but seldom masculine name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is the most numerous in Indonesia, Bangladesh, and Somalia. Also, সাওদা is the last name as well as the forename.
