Throughout the world, 法杜 (Fatou 
, 法杜) is a common predominantly girly, but scarcely male first name. The forename 法杜 is characteristic of Gambia, where it is a common predominantly female, but scarcely masculine name, Senegal, and Antigua and Barbuda, where it is quite a common female name (explore the name in all countries). Not in comparison with a country's population, it is commonest in Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly Senegal, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Gambia. Much less frequently, 法杜 is the last name as well as the forename.
