Across the world, Daly (Daly 
, دالي 
, Дали 
, among others...) is a common epicene first name. The given name Daly is habitual in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, where it is quite a common girly name, Tunisia, where it is quite a common principally male, but very infrequently female name, and Puerto Rico, where it is quite a rare girly name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is the most numerous in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Tunisia, and Iraq. More prevalently, Daly is the last name as well as the forename.
