Forename
Shamala
Worldwide, Shamala (Shamala

The forename Shamala is characteristic of India, where it is a rare primarily female, but very seldom boy's name, Singapore, where it is a rare female name, and Malaysia, where it is a rare predominantly girly, but scarcely masculine name. In absolute terms, it is the most numerous in India, Malaysia, and South Africa. Much less frequently, Shamala is the last name as well as the forename.
