All around the world, Sambou (Sambou
, سامبو
, 桑布
) is quite a common masculine forename. The first name Sambou is characteristic of Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly Gambia, where it is quite a common male name, Mali, where it is quite a common primarily boy's, but scarcely girly name, and Senegal, where it is quite a rare masculine name. Measured by absolute frequency, it is the most numerous in Mali, Egypt, and Senegal. More frequently, Sambou is the last name as well as the forename.
