Around the world, Koto (琴 , Kot
, Koto
) is a widespread principally feminine, but very infrequently boy's first name. The first name Koto is habitual in China, where it is quite a common primarily feminine, but scarcely masculine name, Japan, where it is quite a common dominantly female, but uncommonly boy's name, and Ethiopia, where it is a rare gender-neutral name. Measured by absolute frequency, it is commonest in China, Japan, and India. Very seldom, Koto is the last name as well as the forename.
