Worldwide, Alwi (Alwi , علوي ) is a common principally boy's, but very seldom female forename. The forename Alwi is characteristic of Western Asia, particularly Saudi Arabia, where it is quite a rare predominantly boy's, but very infrequently girly name, Oman, where it is quite a rare male name, and Bahrain. Not in comparison with a country's population, this name is the most popular in Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq. Likewise, Alwi is the last name as well as the forename.
