A '''unisex name''' (also known as an '''epicene name''', a '''gender-neutral name''' or an '''androgynous name''') is a [[given name]] that is not gender-specific. Unisex names are common in the English-speaking world, especially in the United States. By contrast, some countries have [[Naming laws|laws]] preventing unisex names, requiring parents to give their children sex-specific names.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-21280101|title = Icelandic girl Blaer wins right to use given name|work = BBC News|date = 31 January 2013}}</ref> In other countries or cultures, social norms oppose such names and transgressions may result in [[discrimination]], ridicule, and [[psychological abuse]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2016/09/19/banned-baby-names_n_12090708.html|title = Unisex Baby Names Are Illegal in These 4 Countries|date = 19 September 2016}}</ref>

Names may have different gender connotations from country to country or language to language. For example, the Italian [[male name]] ''[[Andrea]]'' (derived from Greek ''Andreas'') is understood as a female name in many languages, such as English, German, Hungarian, Czech, and Spanish.

Parents may name their child in honor of a person of another sex, which – if done widely – can result in the name becoming unisex. For example, Christians, particularly [[Catholics]], may give a child a second/middle name of the opposite sex, e.g. name a son Marie or Maria in honor of the [[Virgin Mary]] or formerly [[Anne]] for [[Saint Anne]]; or name a daughter José in honor of [[Saint Joseph]] or Jean in honor of [[John the Baptist]]. 

In the United States, one popular names website considers a name unisex if Census Bureau and Social Security Administration data shows a name is assigned to a particular gender less than 95 percent of the time.<ref>[https://www.thebump.com/news/popular-gender-neutral-names What Makes a Name ‘Gender Neutral’? the Answer Might Surprise You] at thebump.com (based on US Census Bureau and Social Security Administration data)</ref>

Some masculine and feminine names are [[homophone]]s, pronounced the same regardless of gender but spelled differently. These names are not strictly unisex names.

===Chinese===
{{See also|Chinese given name}}

Chinese given names are composed of 1–3 [[Chinese character]]s, with the exception of [[Ethnic minorities in China|non-Han ethnic groups]] who sometimes choose to use their native naming traditions instead and transliterate their names to Chinese for legal registration, often ending up in very long Chinese full names. Some characters have masculine connotations tied to them (for example, 偉 (wěi), 冠 (guàn), 宏 (hóng), 廷 (tíng), 傑 (jié), 豪 (háo)), some have feminine connotations (for example, 娟 (juān), 妍 (yán), 淑 (shú), 卉 (huì), 晴 (qíng), 薇 (wéi)), and some can be fully gender-neutral or will only gain a masculine/feminine leaning when paired with another character that has a specific leaning (for example, 家 (jiā), 安 (ān), 子 (zǐ), 文 (wén), 品 (pǐn), 華 (huá)). Some Chinese given names may have the same pronunciation, but use different characters associated with different genders to give the name a gender association.

===Indian languages===
{{See also|Indian family names}}
Many [[languages of India|Indian]] names become unisex when written with Latin characters because of the limitations of [[transliteration]]. The spellings ''Chandra'' and ''Krishna'', for example, are transliterations of both the masculine and feminine versions of those names. In Indian languages{{Fix|text=in which alphabets?}}, the final ''a'' in each of these names are different letters with different pronunciations, so there is no ambiguity. However, when they are seen (and usually, spoken) by someone unfamiliar with Indian languages, they become sexually ambiguous. Other Indian names, such as ''Ananda'', are exclusively or nearly exclusively masculine in India, but because of their ''a'' ending, are assumed to be feminine in Anglophone societies.

[[Nehal]], Sonal, Sonu, Snehal, Niral, Pranjal and Anmol are used commonly to name baby boys or girls in western states of [[India]] such as [[Gujarat]]. Similarly, names like Kajal, Sujal, Viral, Harshal, Deepal, Bobby, Mrinal, Jyoti, Shakti, [[Neelam (given name)|Nilam]], [[Kiran (given name)|Kiran]], [[Lucky (name)|Lucky]], Ashwini, Shashi, Malhar, Umang, Shubham and Anupam are also very common sex-neutral names or unisex names in India. Most [[Punjabi people|Punjabi]] [[Sikh]] first names such as "Sandeep, Gurdeep, Kuldeep, Mandeep", "Surjeet, Gurjeet, Kuljeet, Harjeet, Manjeet", "Harpreet, Gurpreet, Jaspreet, Kulpreet, Manpreet", "Prabhjot, Harjot, Gurjot, Jasjot" and "Sukhjinder, Bhupinder, Jasbinder, Parminder, Kulvinder, Harjinder, Ranjodh, Sheeraz, Hardeep, Kirandeep, Sukhdeep, Govindpal, Encarl, Rajan" are unisex names and equally commonly given to either sex.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sikhnames.com/|title=Sikh Names (SikhNames.com) Sikh Names, Meanings & Pronunciation}}</ref> Also, names derived from Dari Persian and Arabic, but not used among native speakers of those languages, are common among South Asian Muslims. Since Persian does not assign genders to inanimate nouns, some of these names are gender-neutral, for example Roshan, Hitesh, Sudesh, Parveen, and Insaaf.

For example, Quốc Khánh may be a male name (Quốc is a male name) and Ngân Khánh may be a female name (Ngân is a female name), and sex-specific middle names such as ''Văn'' for males and ''Thị'' for females also help. In many cases, a male could have a female name and vice versa. Popular examples of unisex names in Vietnamese are:

* Anh (beautiful, outstanding, hero)
* An (safe and sound)

It says on the article they have checked these names from väestörekisteri for having been given for both sexes.

Further, I reduced the list a bit according my arse feel of what of these could pass as first names. Even if the law does not make any difference between first name and the rest, I think it is safe to say the official processing the name form will be really stringent only on the first name. That can't be tested, because the publicly accessible name database does not differentiate on order. -->

Many of these names are rare, foreign or neologisms; established names tend to be strongly sex-specific. Notably, a class of names that are derived from nature can be often used for either sex, for example: '''Aalto''' (wave), '''Halla''' (frost), '''Lumi''' (snow), '''Paju''' (willow), '''Ruska''' (fall colors), and '''Valo''' (light). Similarly, there are some (sometimes archaic) adjectives which carry no strong gender connotations, like '''Kaino''' (timid), '''Vieno''' (calm) or '''Lahja''' (a gift). Certain names can have unisex diminutives, such as Alex, which can be short for Aleksandra or Aleksanteri (or variants thereof).

There are also pairs of masculine and feminine names that have slightly different spellings but identical pronunciation, such as André / Andrée, Frédéric / Frédérique, René / Renée and Gabriel / Gabrielle.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://french.about.com/od/culture/a/frenchnames_4.htm|title=Patterns of French First Names – Prénoms Français}}</ref> In [[France]] and French-speaking countries, it can happen for people to have a combination of both masculine and feminine given names, but most of these include "Marie", such as Jean-Marie, Marie-Jean, Marie-Pierre.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://french.about.com/od/culture/a/frenchnames.htm|title=Patterns of French First Names – Prénoms Français}}</ref> [[Marie (given name)|Marie]] was a unisex name in medieval times; it is nowadays only female except for its presence in compound names. Notable examples of people with a combination of masculine and feminine given names are [[Jean-Marie Le Pen]] (male), [[Marie-Jean Hérault de Séchelles]] (male), [[Marie-Pierre Kœnig]] (male), and [[Marie-Pierre Leray]] (female). In the past, it was not unusual to give a child that was assigned male at birth the middle name Marie as a sign of religious devotion; the most notable example is that of [[François Mitterrand|François Maurice Marie Mitterrand]].

European royals often bear the name Marie, the French form of [[Maria (given name)|Maria]], in their names. [[Prince Amedeo of Belgium, Archduke of Austria-Este]] (Amedeo '''Marie''' Joseph Carl Pierre Philippe Paola Marcus), [[Prince Jean of Luxembourg]] (Jean Félix '''Marie''' Guillaume), and [[Jean, Grand Duke of Luxembourg]] (Jean Benoît Guillaume Robert Antoine Louis '''Marie''' Adolphe Marc) are examples of male royals who bear Marie in their names.

Previously, unisex names were in generally illegal in Iceland. The [[Icelandic Naming Committee]] (Icelandic: ''Mannanafnanefnd'') maintained preapproved lists of male and female names, with names not on the list - or on a different gender's list - typically denied. Earlier court cases had carved out exceptions, such as the names ''Blær'' (approved for women after a 2013 court case),<ref name="icelandreview" /><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.urskurdir.is/domsogkirkjumala/mannanafnanefnd/nr/5918|title=Mál nr. 17/2013 Eiginnafn: Blær (kvk.)|trans-title=Case 17/2013 Given name: Blær (female) |website=Department of Justice: Úrskurðir og álit |language=is|access-date=2017-11-27}}</ref> ''Auður'' (approved for men later in 2013),<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.urskurdir.is/domsogkirkjumala/mannanafnanefnd/nr/6748|title=Mál nr. 73/2013 Eiginnafn: Auður |website=Department of Justice: Úrskurðir og álit |language=is|access-date=2017-11-27}}</ref> and ''Alex'' (denied for women in 2013 but approved in 2018).<ref name="icelandreview" /><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.urskurdir.is/domsogkirkjumala/mannanafnanefnd/nr/6761|title=Mál nr. 76/2013 Eiginnafn: Alex |quote=Beiðni um eiginnafnið '''Alex''' (kvk.) er hafnað.

Additionally, the new gender autonomy act makes changes to the traditional patronymics/matronymics used as [[Icelandic name|Icelandic surnames]]. Before the bill, [[Icelandic name|Icelandic last names]] (by law) could not be unisex: the suffix ''-dóttir'' ("daughter") was attached to a parent's name for women and the suffix ''-son'' ("son") was used for men. The new law will allow adults who have officially changed their gender marker to "X", a [[non-binary gender]] marker, to also change their patronymic/matronymic suffix to ''-bur'' ("child").<ref name="icelandreview" /> Newborns cannot be assigned a non-binary gender marker at this time, and will continue to receive a patronymic/matronymic suffix in keeping with their assigned sex at birth.

Among Irish Catholics in the 19th and 20th centuries, it was not unusual to give a child that was assigned male at birth a feminine middle name, particularly "Mary", as a sign of religious devotion. Joseph Mary Plunkett was a signatory of the Irish Declaration of Independence in 1916, and was later executed as one of the leaders of the Easter Rising.

===Italian===
{{See also|Italian name}}
In Italy, unisex names (''nomi ambigenere'') are very rare. There are names that are primarily male, like [[Andrea]] (which is female, e.g., in English, Spanish, German, and French) or Felice, that can also be given to females. Names like Celeste, Amabile, [[Fiore (disambiguation)|Fiore]] or Diamante are, as opposite, female names that occasionally can be given to males.

Sometimes "Maria" is used as a middle male name (such as Antonio Maria).

"Loreto" (feminine "Loreta" or "Loretta") and "Rosario" (feminine: "Rosaria") are male names in Italian whereas in Spanish they are female.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Campbell |first=Mike |title=Meaning, origin and history of the name Loreto |url=https://www.behindthename.com/name/loreto |access-date=2024-05-11 |website=Behind the Name |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Campbell |first=Mike |title=Meaning, origin and history of the name Rosario |url=https://www.behindthename.com/name/rosario |access-date=2024-05-11 |website=Behind the Name |language=en}}</ref>

There are also unisex nicknames, for example:

* Giusi or Giusy can stand either for Giuseppe ("Joseph") or Giuseppina ("Josephine").
* Dani or Dany can stand for Daniele (male) or Daniela (female).
* Ale or Alex can stand for Alessandro (male) or Alessandra (female).
* Fede can stand either for Federico or Federica.

====Brazilian====
Names that end with an ''i'' are considered unisex in Brazil. They tend to be Native Brazilian [[Tupi people|Indigenous]] names in origin, such as Araci, Jaci, Darci, Ubirani, but names from other cultures are now being absorbed, such as Remy, Wendy, and Eddy. Names that end with ''ir'' and ''mar'' tend to be unisex also, such as Nadir, Aldenir, Dagmar and Niomar – though in these cases there are some exceptions.

===Russian===
{{See also|Eastern Slavic naming customs}}

Unisex names are not common in Russian, partly because of the grammar of the Russian language in which gendered endings are assigned to most names of Slavic, Greek, Latin or Biblical origin, however, diminutive forms of names in Russian language can be unisex, such as [[Sasha (given name)|Sasha]]/[[Shura (disambiguation)|Shura]] (Alexandr or Alexandra), [[Zhenya]] (Yevgeniy or Yevgeniya), [[Valya]] (Valentin or Valentina), [[Valera (given name)|Valera]] (Valeriy or Valeriya), [[Slava (given name)|Slava]] (for names ending with -slav or -slava), [[Vitalya]] (Vitaly or Vitalia).

It's worth notting that it's extremely uncommon to use the diminutive form as an official name (in passports, birth certificates etc) as these are considered informal and seen as inappropriate for use in a formal capacity. 

Those who desire gender neutral names often borrow them from other languages, most commonly the Tatar language which offers more options than the Russian language.

===Slovene===
* [[Fran (given name)|Fran]] (diminutive of Frančiška)
* [[Ivica]] (diminutive of ''Ivan'' (John) or ''Ivana'' (Joanne))
* [[Saša]] (diminutive of ''Aleksander'' (Alexander))
* [[Slava (given name)|Slava]] (diminutive of Slavko)
* [[Vanja]] (diminutive of Ivan or Ivana)

===Spanish===
{{See also|Spanish naming customs}}
In Spanish, unisex names are rare. Some names for devotional titles of the virgin Mary, such as [[Guadalupe (name)|Guadalupe]], [[Trinidad (disambiguation)|Trinidad]] and [[Reyes (name)|Reyes]] are used for both genders, although more often by women. Epicene names from Basque are sometimes used in non-Basque speaking regions of Spain. Other names adapted from English, French or Hebrew can also be used as unisex. Some names include:

Like in English, some common nicknames are unisex such as Álex ([[Alejandro]], [[Alejandra]]), Cris ([[Cristina]], [[Cristiano (given name)|Cristian]], [[Cristóbal]]), Dani ([[Daniel (given name)|Daniel]], [[Daniela]]) and Gabi ([[Gabriel (given name)|Gabriel]], [[Gabriela (given name)|Gabriela]]).

===Swedish===
Swedish unisex names generally follow the tradition as in similar Western countries, including names such as Robin, Kim, Lou and Lee. Unisex names that are particularly Swedish include [[Mio (given name)|Mio]], after the popular [[Astrid Lindgren]] book ''[[Mio, my son]]'', and [[Tintin (disambiguation)#People|Tintin]], after the popularity of the Belgian [[Tintin (character)|comics character]]. A more traditional unisex name is [[Kaj (name)|Kaj]], the male variant might be a Continental loan through Danish, whereas the female variant might be a shortening of [[Kajsa]], from [[Katarina (given name)|Katarina]].

===Turkish===
{{See also|Turkish name}}
There are many [[Turkish name]]s which are unisex. These names are almost always pure Turkish names (i.e. not [[Turkish phonology|Turkified]] [[Arabic name]]s that have an [[Islamic]] connotation) that derive from Turkish words. These names may either be modern names or be derived from [[Turkic mythology]]. Some [[Persian language|Persian]]-derived Turkish names, like [[Can (name)|Can]] and Cihan, are also unisex, as are even a few Arabic-derived names, like [[Ihsan (name)|İhsan]] and [[Nur (name)|Nur]].

Among the common examples of the many unisex names in Turkey are:
