Globally, ﻣﻌﺎﺫ (ﻣﻌﺎﺫ 
) is quite a rare predominantly male, but very infrequently female first name. The first name ﻣﻌﺎﺫ is habitual in Northern Africa, particularly Sudan, where it is quite a rare masculine name, Egypt, where it is a rare principally masculine, but very infrequently feminine name, and Libya, where it is a rare male name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it most frequently occurs in Sudan, Egypt, and Yemen. Much less frequently, ﻣﻌﺎﺫ is the last name as well as the forename.
