Across the world, Lakew (Lakew 
) is a common masculine first name. The first name Lakew is characteristic of Ethiopia, where it is quite a common boy's name, and the United States, where it is an extremely rare principally male, but very infrequently female name. Very seldom, Lakew is the last name as well as the forename.
