Globally, サラン (Saran 
, Salan 
, サラン 
) is a common epicene first name. The forename サラン is habitual in Western Asia, particularly Qatar, where it is quite a rare masculine name, United Arab Emirates, where it is quite a rare predominantly boy's, but very infrequently female name, and Oman, where it is quite a rare mostly boy's, but seldom feminine name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is commonest in India, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia. Also, サラン is the last name as well as the forename.
