Globally, प्रधान (Pradhan 
, Perdana 
, Pradhana 
) is a common predominantly masculine, but scarcely feminine first name. The first name प्रधान is characteristic of India, where it is quite a rare male name, Indonesia, where it is quite a rare mostly male, but infrequently girly name, and Qatar, where it is quite a rare boy's name. Measured by absolute frequency, it is commonest in India, Indonesia, and Nepal. Much more frequently, प्रधान is the last name as well as the forename.
