All over the world, มาเฟีย (Mafia 
, Mafis 
, Mafiar ) is quite a common largely girly, but uncommonly masculine forename. The first name มาเฟีย is characteristic of Pakistan, where it is quite a rare girly name, Bangladesh, where it is a rare dominantly girly, but seldom male name, and Indonesia, where it is a rare principally male, but very seldom female name. In absolute terms, it is commonest in Southern Asia, particularly Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh. Very seldom, มาเฟีย is the last name as well as the forename.
