Globally, Dawi (Dawi 
, ضاوي 
, ดาวี 
) is quite a common epicene first name. The first name Dawi is habitual in Iraq, where it is quite a rare principally male, but very seldom girly name, Saudi Arabia, where it is quite a rare dominantly male, but seldom female name, and Ethiopia, where it is quite a rare gender-neutral name. Not in comparison with a country's population, the name is most common in Ethiopia, Indonesia, and Iraq. Likewise, Dawi is the last name as well as the forename.
