Throughout the world, غاوي (غاوي 
, Ghawi 
, Gaoi 
) is quite a rare principally male, but very seldom feminine first name. The forename غاوي is characteristic of Egypt, where it is quite a rare primarily boy's, but scarcely female name, Libya, where it is quite a rare male name, and Syria, where it is a rare boy's name. Not in comparison with a country's population, the name is most common in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Sudan. Also, غاوي is the last name as well as the forename.
