Globally, Bamba (Bamba , バンバ , Бамба , among others...) is quite a common largely boy's, but uncommonly girly given name. The first name Bamba is characteristic of Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly Gambia, where it is quite a common male name, Senegal, and Mali, where it is quite a rare masculine name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is the most numerous in Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly Senegal, Mali, and Ivory Coast. More frequently, Bamba is the last name as well as the forename.
