Throughout the world, 戈夫 (Gove 
, 戈夫 
, Goff

The first name 戈夫 is habitual in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where it is a rare masculine name, Tanzania, where it is a very rare boy's name, and the United Kingdom, where it is a very rare largely masculine, but uncommonly female name. Not in comparison with a country's population, the name is most common in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, China, and the United States. Much more prevalently, 戈夫 is the last name as well as the forename.
