Throughout the world, เห่า (Hao , เห่า, Yaprate ) is a common dominantly boy's, but uncommonly girly first name. The forename เห่า is characteristic of Macao, where it is quite a common gender-neutral name, Vietnam, where it is quite a common principally boy's, but scarcely feminine name, and Belize, where it is quite a common male name. Measured by absolute frequency, it is commonest in Vietnam, China, and the United States. More frequently, เห่า is the last name as well as the forename.
เห่า is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Hao Asakura , the fictional character from Shaman King.
