In the world, יפת (Japhet
, Jafet
, יפת
) is a widespread principally male, but very seldom female forename. The forename יפת is habitual in Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly Tanzania, where it is quite a common masculine name, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where it is quite a common principally masculine, but scarcely female name, and Namibia, where it is quite a common boy's name (explore the name in all countries). Not in comparison with a country's population, it most frequently occurs in Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Tanzania, and Nigeria. Much less frequently, יפת is the last name as well as the forename.
יפת is also a name from the Bible. Explore more in our Biblical names portal!
