All around the world, Cardoso (Cardoso 
, Кардосо 
, Кардозо ) is quite a rare mostly masculine, but uncommonly female forename. The forename Cardoso is characteristic of Luxembourg, where it is quite a rare epicene name, Angola, where it is quite a rare boy's name, and Portugal, where it is quite a rare unisex name. Measured by absolute frequency, it is commonest in Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly Angola, Nigeria, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Much more prevalently, Cardoso is the last name as well as the forename.
