Globally, Shantha (Shantha 
) is a common dominantly girly, but seldom masculine forename. The given name Shantha is habitual in Sri Lanka, where it is quite a common predominantly male, but very seldom girly name, Qatar, where it is quite a rare boy's name, and Kuwait, where it is quite a rare unisex name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it most frequently occurs in India, Sri Lanka, and Saudi Arabia. Much less frequently, Shantha is the last name as well as the forename.
