In the entire world, 강 (强 , 刚
, 江
, among others...) is a prevalent principally masculine, but very infrequently girly given name. The given name 강 is characteristic of China, where it is a common principally masculine, but very infrequently female name, Indonesia, where it is quite a common predominantly boy's, but very infrequently feminine name, and Gambia, where it is quite a rare gender-neutral name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is the most numerous in China, Indonesia, and India. Also, 강 is the last name as well as the forename.
