Around the world, Fatou (Fatou 
, فاتو 
, Фату 
) is a common primarily female, but very infrequently masculine first name. The first name Fatou is habitual in Gambia, where it is a common primarily girly, but very infrequently male name, Senegal, and Antigua and Barbuda, where it is quite a common female name (explore the name in all countries). Not in comparison with a country's population, it most frequently occurs in Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly Senegal, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Gambia. Much less frequently, Fatou is the last name as well as the forename.
