Across the world, ターボ (Thabo 
, Tabo 
, ターボ 
) is a common principally masculine, but very seldom female forename. The given name ターボ is characteristic of Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly Botswana, where it is a common primarily male, but very infrequently girly name, South Africa, where it is a common male name, and Namibia, where it is quite a rare masculine name. Measured by absolute frequency, this name is the most popular in South Africa, Botswana, and Sudan. Much less frequently, ターボ is the last name as well as the forename.
