In all the world, Shabu (Shabu 
, شابو 
) is quite a common gender-neutral given name. The first name Shabu is characteristic of Western Asia, particularly United Arab Emirates, where it is quite a rare predominantly boy's, but very infrequently girly name, Oman, where it is quite a rare boy's name, and Qatar. Measured by absolute frequency, it most frequently occurs in India, Saudi Arabia, and Nigeria. Much less frequently, Shabu is the last name as well as the forename.
