Globally, نزير (نزير 
) is quite a rare male forename. The forename نزير is habitual in Syria, where it is quite a rare principally male, but scarcely girly name, Sudan, where it is quite a rare boy's name, and Lebanon. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is the most numerous in Sudan, Syria, and Saudi Arabia. Much less frequently, نزير is the last name as well as the forename.
