All over the world, Oumou (Oumou 
, Уму 
, أومو) is a common principally female, but very seldom male given name. The forename Oumou is characteristic of Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly Senegal, where it is quite a common predominantly feminine, but scarcely masculine name, Mali, where it is quite a common dominantly female, but seldom male name, and Guinea, where it is quite a rare principally female, but scarcely male name. In absolute terms, this name is the most popular in Senegal, Mali, and France. Very seldom, Oumou is the last name as well as the forename.
