All over the world, 弗明 (Firmin , 弗明) is a common predominantly boy's, but very infrequently female first name. The first name 弗明 is habitual in Cameroon, where it is quite a common masculine name, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where it is quite a rare principally masculine, but scarcely girly name, and Belgium, where it is quite a rare masculine name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is the most numerous in Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Cameroon, and Ethiopia. Very seldom, 弗明 is the last name as well as the forename.
弗明 is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Fermin , the Spanish saint and Firmin Van de Kasseien , character in De Kiekeboes.
