All around the world, Kunta (Kunta , Кунта , كونتا ) is a common principally feminine, but scarcely masculine forename. The forename Kunta is characteristic of India, where it is quite a rare predominantly female, but scarcely masculine name, Ethiopia, where it is a rare dominantly boy's, but infrequently girly name, and Oman, where it is a rare male name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is commonest in India, Ethiopia, and Indonesia. Very seldom, Kunta is the last name as well as the forename.
Kunta is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Kunta Kinte , the from Alex Haley's ''Roots''.
