Worldwide, ﻛﻼﻡ (ﻛﻼﻡ 
) is a rare largely boy's, but uncommonly feminine forename. The forename ﻛﻼﻡ is habitual in Northern Africa, particularly Egypt, where it is a rare gender-neutral name, and Sudan, where it is a rare boy's name. Much less frequently, ﻛﻼﻡ is the last name as well as the forename.
