Around the world, Athr (اطهر 
, Athr 
, آثر 
) is a rare principally male, but very infrequently feminine forename. The first name Athr is characteristic of Egypt, where it is a rare male name, Pakistan, where it is a very rare boy's name, and India, where it is an extremely rare gender-neutral name. Much less frequently, Athr is the last name as well as the forename.
