Globally, 绅 (绅 , 신 , Shēn ) is quite a rare predominantly boy's, but scarcely female first name. The given name 绅 is characteristic of Eastern Asia, particularly South Korea, where it is a rare boy's name, and China, where it is a rare predominantly male, but very infrequently girly name. Predominantly, 绅 is the last name as well as the forename.
绅 is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Huang Xin , the Water Margin character; Yu Shen , the Jin Ping Mei character and Bao Xin , the fictional Han dynasty general, figure in Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
