All around the world, Alshama (الشامى 
, Alshama 
, الشامة ) is a rare primarily masculine, but very seldom girly forename. The first name Alshama is characteristic of Egypt, where it is a rare predominantly boy's, but scarcely female name, Sudan, where it is a rare masculine name, and India, where it is an extremely rare female name. Much more prevalently, Alshama is the last name as well as the forename.
