Sall

Sall is a prominent surname among the Fulani people, one of the largest ethnic groups in the Sahel and West Africa. The Fulani, also known as Fula or Peul, are traditionally nomadic pastoralists, and their names often reflect their environment, history, and social structures. The meaning 'from the river' suggests a connection to water sources, which are vital for pastoral communities.

While primarily a surname, it is not uncommon in West African cultures for surnames to be adopted as given names, especially in contemporary times or to honor family lineage. Its usage as a given name, though less frequent than as a surname, contributes to its unisex classification.
