In all the world, ดุ๊ก (Duke , Duk , Douk ) is a common dominantly male, but infrequently female forename. The first name ดุ๊ก is characteristic of Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly Reunion, where it is quite a common boy's name, Ghana, where it is quite a rare boy's name, and Nigeria, where it is quite a rare epicene name.
