Throughout the world, Mashu (Mashu 
, משו 
) is quite a rare epicene first name. The forename Mashu is habitual in Japan, where it is a rare feminine name, United Arab Emirates, where it is a rare male name, and Ethiopia. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is commonest in India, Japan, and Ethiopia. Much less frequently, Mashu is the last name as well as the forename.
