Throughout the world, イェ (Ye , Yeh , イェ ) is a common mostly masculine, but seldom feminine first name. The forename イェ is characteristic of Mongolia, where it is a prevalent male name, Macao, where it is quite a common unisex name, and Myanmar, where it is quite a common principally boy's, but scarcely girly name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is commonest in Mongolia, China, and Myanmar. Likewise, イェ is the last name as well as the forename.
イェ is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Ye Ma , the Dream of the Red Chamber character and Ye Thuza Williams , the character from web comic Sandra and Woo.
