In all the world, سافير (Saphir , Safire , سافير ) is quite a rare dominantly masculine, but seldom girly first name. The forename سافير is habitual in Algeria, where it is a rare epicene name, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where it is a rare boy's name, and Tunisia. Measured by absolute frequency, it is commonest in India, Algeria, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Much less frequently, سافير is the last name as well as the forename.
سافير is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Saphir , the operatic character in the opera Cronaca del luogo by Luciano Berio.
