Throughout the world, 伊本 (Eben , Iben , Kushyar ) is a common primarily boy's, but very seldom female given name. The forename 伊本 is habitual in Namibia, where it is quite a common gender-neutral name, Ghana, where it is quite a common masculine name, and Lebanon, where it is quite a rare boy's name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it most frequently occurs in Indonesia, Ghana, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Very seldom, 伊本 is the last name as well as the forename.
伊本 is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Eben Hopwil , the fictional character from The Wheel of Time; Eben Olemaun , the character from the 30 Days of Night franchise and Eben , the theatrical character in the play "Desire Under the Elms".
