Worldwide, Themba (Themba 
) is a common primarily male, but very seldom female first name. The given name Themba is habitual in Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly South Africa, where it is quite a common principally male, but scarcely girly name, Botswana, where it is quite a common masculine name, and Zimbabwe, where it is quite a rare masculine name. Very seldom, Themba is the last name as well as the forename.
