Globally, Ashab (Ashab , أصحاب , Ашаб ) is quite a rare predominantly boy's, but very infrequently female forename. The given name Ashab is habitual in Western Asia, particularly Qatar, where it is quite a rare male name, United Arab Emirates, where it is a rare male name, and Saudi Arabia. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is the most numerous in Southern Asia, particularly India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan. Likewise, Ashab is the last name as well as the forename.
