In the entire world, Shiro (Shiro
, شيرو
, シロ
, and others...) is quite a common epicene forename. The forename Shiro is habitual in Western Asia, particularly Syria, where it is quite a rare mostly masculine, but infrequently female name, Lebanon, where it is quite a rare gender-neutral name, and Iraq, where it is quite a rare dominantly male, but uncommonly female name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is commonest in India, Indonesia, and Syria. Also, Shiro is the last name as well as the forename.
