Around the globe, דר (Dar , Der , דר ) is a common largely boy's, but uncommonly feminine first name. The first name דר is characteristic of Pakistan, where it is quite a common principally male, but very infrequently female name, Israel, where it is quite a rare gender-neutral name, and Mauritius. Not in comparison with a country's population, the name is most common in Pakistan, Indonesia, and India. More prevalently, דר is the last name as well as the forename.
דר is also a prevalent name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Der alte Heilandt , the fictional character from The Tin Drum by Günter Grass; Der kleine Muck , character in Die Geschichte vom kleinen Muck; Dar Veter , the fictional character in novels by Ivan Efremov, The Andromeda Nebula; Der kleine Nils and Der Haushofmeister , the operatic character in the opera Adriana Lecouvreur, and in many other works.
