Around the globe, Afra (Afra , افرا , Афра ) is a common mostly girly, but infrequently male first name. The forename Afra is characteristic of United Arab Emirates, where it is quite a common principally girly, but very seldom boy's name, Sudan, where it is quite a common girly name, and Qatar, where it is quite a rare largely feminine, but seldom male name. Measured by absolute frequency, it most frequently occurs in Sudan, Bangladesh, and Indonesia. Much less frequently, Afra is the last name as well as the forename.
Afra is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Afra , the operatic character in the opera La Wally by Alfredo Catalani.
