Across the world, Ringo (Ringo , リンゴ , Ринго ) is quite a common predominantly masculine, but scarcely female first name. The first name Ringo is characteristic of Hong Kong, where it is quite a common predominantly boy's, but very seldom girly name, Macao, where it is quite a common male name, and Namibia, where it is quite a rare male name. Measured by absolute frequency, it is commonest in Hong Kong, Philippines, and Germany. Likewise, Ringo is the last name as well as the forename.
