Globally, Asawa (Asawa 
, アサワ , اساوا) is quite a common principally masculine, but very seldom girly first name. The first name Asawa is characteristic of Japan, where it is quite a rare boy's name, Nigeria, where it is a rare epicene name, and Saudi Arabia. Measured by absolute frequency, it is commonest in Japan, Nigeria, and India. Very seldom, Asawa is the last name as well as the forename.
