Worldwide, Bilbao (Billa , Bilbao , Бильбао ) is a common epicene first name. The forename Bilbao is characteristic of Western Asia, particularly Oman, where it is quite a rare masculine name, United Arab Emirates, where it is quite a rare principally male, but very infrequently female name, and Qatar, where it is quite a rare masculine name. Not in comparison with a country's population, the name is most common in India, Indonesia, and Algeria. More frequently, Bilbao is the last name as well as the forename.
