Across the world, 燕尔 (燕尔 
, Yaner 
) is quite a rare unisex forename. The first name 燕尔 is characteristic of Latin America and the Caribbean, particularly Nicaragua, where it is a rare largely boy's, but uncommonly feminine name, Bolivia, where it is a rare male name, and Peru, where it is a rare dominantly masculine, but seldom girly name. In absolute terms, it is the most numerous in China, Indonesia, and Peru. Much less frequently, 燕尔 is the last name as well as the forename.
