Globally, Shakha (Shakha
, Шаха
) is a common principally feminine, but scarcely masculine forename. The forename Shakha is characteristic of India, where it is a rare primarily feminine, but very seldom masculine name, Kuwait, where it is a rare female name, and Kazakhstan, where it is a very rare epicene name. Not in comparison with a country's population, the name is most common in India, Tanzania, and Kuwait. Much less frequently, Shakha is the last name as well as the forename.
