Globally, דיאב (Diab , Diyab , דיאב ) is quite a common predominantly boy's, but very infrequently girly forename. The given name דיאב is characteristic of Western Asia, particularly Lebanon, where it is quite a common dominantly masculine, but seldom female name, Israel, where it is quite a common boy's name, and Syria, where it is quite a rare principally boy's, but very infrequently female name. Measured by absolute frequency, it is commonest in Egypt, Algeria, and Israel. More prevalently, דיאב is the last name as well as the forename.
דיאב is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Diyab , the semilegendary Arab chief and a primary character in the most important medieval story.
