Across the world, جابا (Jaba 
, Gaba , Gabba 
) is a widespread dominantly female, but uncommonly masculine given name. The forename جابا is characteristic of Georgia, where it is a common masculine name, Botswana, where it is quite a rare girly name, and India, where it is quite a rare principally girly, but scarcely boy's name. In absolute terms, the name is most common in India, Georgia, and Nigeria. Very seldom, جابا is the last name as well as the forename.
