In all the world, ស្មើ (เสมอ 
, ស្មើ 
) is quite a rare gender-neutral forename. The first name ស្មើ is characteristic of South-eastern Asia, particularly Thailand, where it is quite a rare epicene name, and Cambodia, where it is a rare unisex name. Very seldom, ស្មើ is the last name as well as the forename.
