Coumba

A distinctive yet gentle looking name, Coumba is predominantly used in Senegal. While the exact origins of the name are uncertain, one possible theory is that it borrows from the Latin Columba (or French Colombe) meaning "dove", while another source suggests it is a Fulani name, related to strength.

Notable bearers include Swiss-Senegalese footballer Coumba Sow and singer-songwriter Coumba Gawlo.

Pronounced KOOM-buh.

As of October 2026, Coumba ranked #13580 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #7751 in 2014.
