Across the world, شاما (Shama 
, شاما 
, Schama 
) is a widespread principally female, but scarcely boy's forename. The first name شاما is habitual in India, where it is quite a common primarily female, but very seldom boy's name, Pakistan, where it is quite a rare principally feminine, but scarcely masculine name, and United Arab Emirates, where it is quite a rare mostly female, but seldom male name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is commonest in Southern Asia, particularly India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. Much less frequently, شاما is the last name as well as the forename.
