Around the world, 本金 (本金 
, Benjin 
) is quite a rare predominantly masculine, but very infrequently feminine forename. The first name 本金 is habitual in China, where it is a rare principally boy's, but scarcely feminine name, Philippines, where it is a very rare mostly masculine, but infrequently female name, and Nigeria, where it is an extremely rare unisex name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is commonest in China, India, and Nigeria. Very seldom, 本金 is the last name as well as the forename.
