Across the world, Bongo (Bongo , Bongó, 邦戈, along with others...) is quite a rare largely boy's, but uncommonly female first name. The first name Bongo is characteristic of Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly Gambia, where it is quite a rare masculine name, the Republic of the Congo, and Cameroon, where it is a rare masculine name. Measured by absolute frequency, it most frequently occurs in Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly the Democratic Republic of the Congo, South Africa, and Nigeria. Much more prevalently, Bongo is the last name as well as the forename.
Bongo is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Bongo , the character from Disney's Fun and Fancy Free, Bongo.
