In the world, U (U 
, ウ 
, У 
) is a widespread unisex forename. The given name U is characteristic of Macao, where it is quite a common gender-neutral name, Myanmar, where it is quite a common predominantly masculine, but very infrequently feminine name, and Indonesia, where it is quite a rare gender-neutral name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it most frequently occurs in India, Indonesia, and Myanmar. Much less frequently, U is the last name as well as the forename.
