Around the globe, כולתום (Kulthum 
, כולתום 
) is quite a rare female given name. The forename כולתום is characteristic of Tanzania, where it is quite a rare female name, Oman, and Kenya, where it is a rare girly name. Not in comparison with a country's population, this name is the most popular in Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly Tanzania, Kenya, and Nigeria. Very seldom, כולתום is the last name as well as the forename.
