Around the globe, 达尔 (Dar , Dal , Dahl , among others...) is a widespread dominantly boy's, but uncommonly female first name. The given name 达尔 is characteristic of Pakistan, where it is quite a common primarily masculine, but very infrequently feminine name, Israel, where it is quite a common gender-neutral name, and Qatar, where it is quite a common largely male, but seldom girly name. Not in comparison with a country's population, the name is most common in India, Pakistan, and Indonesia. More prevalently, 达尔 is the last name as well as the forename.
达尔 is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Dal R'El , the fictional character in the Star Trek Universe, Star Trek: Prodigy; Dar Veter , the fictional character in novels by Ivan Efremov, The Andromeda Nebula and Dahl , the musical character in the musical Preludes by Dave Malloy.
