Throughout the world, Helou (الحلو
, Helou
, Элу
) is quite a common dominantly male, but infrequently female forename. The forename Helou is characteristic of Libya, where it is quite a rare gender-neutral name, Syria, where it is quite a rare largely boy's, but seldom girly name, and Iraq. Not in comparison with a country's population, the name is most common in Egypt, Sudan, and Iraq. More prevalently, Helou is the last name as well as the forename.
