All around the world, 博宁 (博宁 
, Bonin 
, Bonine 
) is quite a rare dominantly masculine, but uncommonly feminine first name. The forename 博宁 is habitual in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where it is a rare masculine name, China, where it is a rare largely male, but seldom girly name, and Italy, where it is a rare gender-neutral name. Not in comparison with a country's population, the name is most common in China, Indonesia, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. More frequently, 博宁 is the last name as well as the forename.
