Across the world, 孝文 (Xiaowen , 孝文 , Takafumi ) is a common mostly male, but uncommonly female first name. The given name 孝文 is characteristic of Eastern Asia, particularly China, where it is a rare principally male, but very infrequently girly name, Japan, where it is a rare male name, and Taiwan. In absolute terms, it most frequently occurs in China, Japan, and the United States. Much less frequently, 孝文 is the last name as well as the forename.
