Across the world, 根 (根 , Gwyn ) is a common primarily male, but scarcely girly given name. The given name 根 is habitual in China, where it is quite a rare principally masculine, but scarcely female name, the United Kingdom, and the United States, where it is a rare primarily feminine, but very infrequently male name. Much less frequently, 根 is the last name as well as the forename.
根 is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Gwyn , the character from Princess of Thieves and Gwyn , the fictional character in the Star Trek Universe, Star Trek: Prodigy.
