In the entire world, Shmuel (Shmuel 
, שמואל , شموئيل 
, along with others...) is a common primarily male, but scarcely female forename. The given name Shmuel is habitual in Israel, where it is a common predominantly boy's, but very infrequently girly name, the United States, where it is a rare male name, and Belgium. Not in comparison with a country's population, it most frequently occurs in Israel, the United States, and Brazil. Very seldom, Shmuel is the last name as well as the forename.
