Around the globe, 方明 (方明 
, Fangming 
) is a common predominantly boy's, but scarcely female given name. The forename 方明 is habitual in China, where it is quite a rare predominantly masculine, but very infrequently female name, and the United States, where it is an extremely rare unisex name. Much less frequently, 方明 is the last name as well as the forename.
