In all the world, Bintou (Bintou 
) is a common primarily female, but scarcely masculine first name. The first name Bintou is characteristic of Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly Gambia, where it is quite a common primarily girly, but very seldom masculine name, Senegal, and Guinea-Bissau, where it is quite a rare girly name. Measured by absolute frequency, it is commonest in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Senegal, and France. Much less frequently, Bintou is the last name as well as the forename.
