In the entire world, Swami (Swami , 斯瓦米, Свами) is a common primarily male, but scarcely female forename. The first name Swami is habitual in Bahrain, where it is quite a rare boy's name, India, where it is quite a rare predominantly masculine, but very infrequently girly name, and Oman, where it is quite a rare masculine name. Measured by absolute frequency, the name is most common in India, Saudi Arabia, and United Arab Emirates. More prevalently, Swami is the last name as well as the forename.
Swami is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Swami Zumzum , the operatic character in the opera The Second Mrs Kong by Harrison Birtwistle; Inanna's dead spiritual advisor and Swami , the character from 2008 film 'The Cheetah Girls: One World'.
