Globally, Besnard (Besnard 
, Бенар 
) is a rare primarily masculine, but scarcely feminine forename. The first name Besnard is habitual in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where it is a rare boy's name, France, where it is a very rare epicene name, and Indonesia, where it is a very rare male name. Much more frequently, Besnard is the last name as well as the forename.
