In the entire world, 升 (升 , 승 ) is a common predominantly masculine, but scarcely feminine forename. The first name 升 is habitual in Eastern Asia, particularly China, where it is quite a rare primarily male, but scarcely girly name, and South Korea, where it is a rare boy's name. Much less frequently, 升 is the last name as well as the forename.
升 is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Guan Sheng , the Chinese novel Water Margin fictional character.
