Throughout the world, 金艳 (金艳 
, Jinyan 
) is a common predominantly girly, but very seldom boy's forename. The forename 金艳 is characteristic of Eastern Asia, particularly China, where it is quite a rare predominantly female, but scarcely boy's name, Taiwan, where it is a rare masculine name, and Hong Kong, where it is a rare feminine name. In absolute terms, it most frequently occurs in China, Taiwan, and Indonesia. Very seldom, 金艳 is the last name as well as the forename.
