All over the world, Umaru (Umaru 
, Умару 
) is a widespread predominantly boy's, but scarcely female first name. The first name Umaru is habitual in Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly Nigeria, where it is a common principally male, but very infrequently girly name, Cameroon, where it is quite a rare male name, and Sierra Leone. Not in comparison with a country's population, this name is the most popular in Nigeria, Cameroon, and India. Likewise, Umaru is the last name as well as the forename.
