In the world, Пер (Per 
, Pär 
, Pehr 
) is a common predominantly male, but very infrequently female first name. The first name Пер is characteristic of Northern Europe, particularly Sweden, where it is a common male name, Denmark, where it is quite a common boy's name, and Aland Islands (explore the name in all countries). Not in comparison with a country's population, it is commonest in Sweden, Denmark, and Pakistan. Much less frequently, Пер is the last name as well as the forename.
