In all the world, Ïss (Ïss 
) is a rare largely masculine, but infrequently feminine forename. The given name Ïss is characteristic of Northern Africa, particularly Algeria, where it is a rare dominantly male, but uncommonly female name, Tunisia, where it is a rare epicene name, and Morocco, where it is a very rare masculine name. Much less frequently, Ïss is the last name as well as the forename.
