Throughout the world, Pappus (Pappo , Papada , Pappus ) is quite a rare epicene forename. The first name Pappus is characteristic of Saudi Arabia, where it is a rare boy's name, Thailand, where it is a rare principally female, but scarcely masculine name, and India, where it is a rare dominantly feminine, but infrequently male name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is commonest in India, Bangladesh, and Thailand. Much less frequently, Pappus is the last name as well as the forename.
Pappus is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Pappus , the character in Atellan Farce.
