Across the world, 桑布 (Sambou 
, Sambuu 
, 桑布 ) is quite a common boy's forename. The first name 桑布 is characteristic of Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly Gambia, where it is quite a common masculine name, Mali, where it is quite a common principally male, but scarcely female name, and Senegal, where it is quite a rare boy's name. More prevalently, 桑布 is the last name as well as the forename.
