Across the world, ผกากุล (ผกากุล 
, Phakakun ) is a very rare primarily female, but very seldom masculine forename. The forename ผกากุล is characteristic of South-eastern Asia, particularly Thailand, where it is a very rare predominantly girly, but very infrequently masculine name. Much less frequently, ผกากุล is the last name as well as the forename.
