Throughout the world, 吉文 (Given

, 吉文 ) is a common unisex first name. The forename 吉文 is characteristic of Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly Namibia, where it is quite a common unisex name, Tanzania, and South Africa, where it is quite a common mostly masculine, but infrequently girly name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it most frequently occurs in Tanzania, China, and South Africa. Much less frequently, 吉文 is the last name as well as the forename.
