Around the world, สบู่ (Sabu 
, Soave 
, Soapa 
) is a common epicene given name. The first name สบู่ is characteristic of Western Asia, particularly United Arab Emirates, where it is quite a common predominantly male, but very seldom girly name, Oman, and Qatar, where it is quite a common mostly male, but infrequently female name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it most frequently occurs in India, Saudi Arabia, and United Arab Emirates. Much less frequently, สบู่ is the last name as well as the forename.
