Across the world, प्रीतम (Pritam , प्रीतम ) is a widespread largely masculine, but seldom girly given name. The forename प्रीतम is characteristic of India, where it is quite a common dominantly boy's, but infrequently feminine name, Mauritius, where it is quite a common boy's name, and Qatar, where it is quite a rare principally masculine, but scarcely girly name. In absolute terms, it is the most numerous in Southern Asia, particularly India, Bangladesh, and Nepal. Much less frequently, प्रीतम is the last name as well as the forename.
