Around the world, Samao (เสมา 
, Samao 
) is quite a rare dominantly boy's, but infrequently female given name. The first name Samao is characteristic of Thailand, where it is quite a rare predominantly boy's, but scarcely girly name, Philippines, where it is a very rare epicene name, and India, where it is an extremely rare unisex name. Very seldom, Samao is the last name as well as the forename.
