All around the world, 英子 (英子 , Yingzi ) is quite a common predominantly female, but scarcely boy's forename. The given name 英子 is characteristic of Eastern Asia, particularly Taiwan, where it is a rare girly name, China, where it is a rare principally girly, but very infrequently masculine name, and Hong Kong, where it is a rare feminine name. Measured by absolute frequency, it is commonest in China, Taiwan, and the United States. Very seldom, 英子 is the last name as well as the forename.
