In the world, Gonsalves (Gonsalves , Гонсалвес ) is a rare largely male, but seldom female forename. The given name Gonsalves is characteristic of Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly Angola, where it is a rare boy's name, Tanzania, where it is a very rare male name, and South Africa. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is the most numerous in Angola, India, and Indonesia. Much more prevalently, Gonsalves is the last name as well as the forename.
