Around the world, 本燕 (本燕 
, Benyan 
) is a rare dominantly girly, but seldom male first name. The forename 本燕 is characteristic of China, where it is a very rare largely girly, but seldom male name, and India, where it is an extremely rare gender-neutral name. Much less frequently, 本燕 is the last name as well as the forename.
