Throughout the world, 吉威 (Jiwei 
, 吉威 ) is quite a rare principally male, but very seldom feminine first name. The forename 吉威 is characteristic of Taiwan, where it is quite a rare boy's name, South Korea, where it is a rare male name, and Singapore. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is commonest in Eastern Asia, particularly China, Taiwan, and South Korea.
