Around the globe, フォード (Foad , Ford , Forde ) is a common male given name. The given name フォード is habitual in Northern Africa, particularly Morocco, where it is quite a common principally boy's, but very infrequently feminine name, Libya, where it is quite a rare boy's name, and Algeria. Not in comparison with a country's population, this name is the most popular in Morocco, Egypt, and the United States. More frequently, フォード is the last name as well as the forename.
フォード is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Ford Prefect , the character from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy; Ford Pines , the fictional character from Gravity Falls and Ford , the operatic character in the opera Falstaff by Giuseppe Verdi; a wealthy man.
