Around the globe, เครื่อง (Ware
, Mach
, Machin
) is a common primarily masculine, but very infrequently female first name. The forename เครื่อง is habitual in Ethiopia, where it is quite a rare boy's name, Japan, and Iraq, where it is a rare unisex name. Not in comparison with a country's population, this name is the most popular in Ethiopia, India, and Japan. More prevalently, เครื่อง is the last name as well as the forename.
เครื่อง is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Cześnik Maciej Raptusiewicz , character in Zemsta; Maciej Szymczyk , character in Brzydula; Maciej Boryna , character in The Peasants; Machin Shin , the fictional character from The Wheel of Time and Maciej Depczyk .
