All around the world, 晓燕 (晓燕 
, 효연 
, Hsiao-Yen 
) is a widespread primarily feminine, but scarcely male first name. The first name 晓燕 is habitual in Eastern Asia, particularly China, where it is quite a common primarily girly, but scarcely masculine name, and South Korea, where it is a rare unisex name. Much less frequently, 晓燕 is the last name as well as the forename.
