Across the world, 黄 (Hoàng
, Huỳnh
, 黄
, and others...) is a common dominantly male, but infrequently feminine given name. The forename 黄 is habitual in Vietnam, where it is quite a common predominantly boy's, but very infrequently female name, Macao, where it is quite a common feminine name, and China, where it is a rare epicene name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is commonest in Vietnam, China, and South Korea. Much more prevalently, 黄 is the last name as well as the forename.
