Around the world, Мацуэ (Matsue 
, 松江 , Мацуэ 
) is a common principally female, but scarcely male forename. The first name Мацуэ is characteristic of Japan, where it is quite a common feminine name, China, where it is a rare male name, and the United States, where it is a very rare mostly girly, but infrequently masculine name. Much less frequently, Мацуэ is the last name as well as the forename.
