In the world, 승 (胜 , 升 , 承 , among others...) is a widespread predominantly boy's, but very seldom girly forename. The given name 승 is characteristic of Eastern Asia, particularly China, where it is quite a common predominantly male, but very infrequently feminine name, and South Korea, where it is a rare masculine name. Much less frequently, 승 is the last name as well as the forename.
승 is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Guan Sheng , the Chinese novel Water Margin fictional character.
