KHo

Kho is a term that appears in different languages and cultural contexts. It does not have a single, universal meaning, but is used as a common noun in Vietnamese, as part of the name of a traditional Indian sport, and as a family name in various communities.

In Vietnamese, kho means warehouse or storehouse. The word appears in everyday vocabulary and in compound terms describing storage facilities or goods kept for later use.

Kho-Kho is a traditional Indian team sport named with the same syllables. It originated in the Indian subcontinent and is played between two teams on a rectangular field. The game centers on pursuit and evasion, with one team attempting to tag players from the other while the chaser traverses a marked lane or line. It is commonly played in schools and sports events across India and among diaspora communities.

Kho also occurs as a surname in some Southeast Asian and diasporic communities. As with many such names, its spelling and pronunciation can vary by language and region, and individuals bearing the name Kho may have diverse ancestral origins.

Outside of these uses, Kho may appear in place or organizational names in different languages, though such occurrences are less common and highly context-specific.
