Around the world, Peja (Peja 
, بيجا 
, 佩贾 
) is a rare gender-neutral given name. The first name Peja is characteristic of Slovenia, where it is a rare masculine name, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where it is a rare female name, and Malaysia, where it is a rare principally male, but scarcely feminine name. Not in comparison with a country's population, the name is most common in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, India, and Egypt. Also, Peja is the last name as well as the forename.
