Around the globe, קירש (Kirsch 
, Kirsh 
, קירש 
) is a rare largely masculine, but infrequently girly forename. The forename קירש is characteristic of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where it is a rare boy's name, Germany, where it is a very rare epicene name, and the United States, where it is an extremely rare gender-neutral name. Measured by absolute frequency, it is commonest in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, India, and Germany. Much more prevalently, קירש is the last name as well as the forename.
