Across the world, Yakuba (Yakuba 
) is a common principally male, but very infrequently female given name. The forename Yakuba is characteristic of Gambia, where it is quite a common masculine name, Nigeria, where it is quite a rare primarily boy's, but very infrequently girly name, and Libya, where it is quite a rare unisex name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is commonest in Nigeria, India, and Gambia. Also, Yakuba is the last name as well as the forename.
