Around the world, غريب (غريب , Garib , Gharib ) is a widespread principally masculine, but very seldom feminine forename. The first name غريب is habitual in Western Asia, particularly Iraq, where it is quite a common dominantly boy's, but seldom girly name, Saudi Arabia, where it is quite a common primarily boy's, but scarcely female name, and Syria (explore the name in all countries). Not in comparison with a country's population, it is the most numerous in India, Egypt, and Iraq. Likewise, غريب is the last name as well as the forename.
غريب is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Gharib (‘the Untrustworthy’) , the operatic character in the opera L'Upupa und der Triumph der Sohnesliebe by Hans Werner Henze; another son, a sly fox.
