All around the world, 以金 (Yijin 
, 以金 ) is quite a rare predominantly male, but scarcely female given name. The first name 以金 is characteristic of China, where it is a very rare principally masculine, but very infrequently girly name, and the United States, where it is an extremely rare epicene name. Much less frequently, 以金 is the last name as well as the forename.
