All around the world, เกียด (Kiat 
, เกียด 
, Ngiad 
) is a rare mostly masculine, but uncommonly feminine given name. The first name เกียด is characteristic of South-eastern Asia, particularly Singapore, where it is quite a rare dominantly male, but infrequently feminine name, Indonesia, where it is a rare largely male, but seldom feminine name, and Malaysia. Much more prevalently, เกียด is the last name as well as the forename.
