All around the world, Howe (豪 
, Howe 
, 하우 
, among others...) is a widespread primarily male, but very infrequently feminine forename. The forename Howe is characteristic of China, where it is quite a rare principally boy's, but scarcely girly name, Iraq, where it is a rare masculine name, and Malaysia, where it is a very rare gender-neutral name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is the most numerous in China, the United States, and Iraq. Also, Howe is the last name as well as the forename.
Howe is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Huw White , character in Pobol y Cwm and Huw Edwards , the fictional human, character in the BBC soap EastEnders.
