Around the globe, Shikari (Shikari , شکاری ) is quite a common principally masculine, but very infrequently female first name. The first name Shikari is habitual in India, where it is a rare principally male, but scarcely girly name, Saudi Arabia, where it is a rare boy's name, and Bangladesh, where it is a very rare male name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is the most numerous in Southern Asia, particularly India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. More prevalently, Shikari is the last name as well as the forename.
Shikari is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Shikari , the fictional character in the DC universe and Shikari Shambu , the Indian comic character created by Vasant Halbe, Tinkle.
