Across the world, Favela (Faba 
, Favela 
, สลัม 
) is a rare epicene first name. The forename Favela is habitual in Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly Senegal, where it is quite a rare boy's name, South Africa, where it is a very rare largely masculine, but uncommonly female name, and Nigeria, where it is a very rare unisex name. Not in comparison with a country's population, this name is the most popular in Senegal, Nigeria, and India. Predominantly, Favela is the last name as well as the forename.
