In all the world, Hamal (Hamal
, حمال
, Hammel
) is quite a common largely male, but seldom female forename. The first name Hamal is characteristic of Nepal, where it is quite a rare epicene name, Qatar, where it is quite a rare male name, and Pakistan. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is commonest in Pakistan, India, and Egypt. More frequently, Hamal is the last name as well as the forename.
