Around the world, Akihito (明仁 , Akihito , アキヒト ) is quite a common predominantly masculine, but scarcely female first name. The forename Akihito is habitual in China, where it is a rare primarily male, but very infrequently girly name, Japan, where it is a rare male name, and Algeria. Not in comparison with a country's population, this name is the most popular in China, Japan, and India. Likewise, Akihito is the last name as well as the forename.
