Across the world, Smith (Smith 
, スミス 
, สมิธ 
, and others...) is a common mostly boy's, but uncommonly feminine given name. The forename Smith is habitual in Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where it is quite a common predominantly male, but scarcely female name, Reunion, where it is quite a common female name, and Cameroon, where it is quite a rare predominantly male, but scarcely feminine name. Not in comparison with a country's population, the name is most common in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Nigeria, and the United States. Much more frequently, Smith is the last name as well as the forename.
