All over the world, Bīn (斌 , 彬 , 宾 , and others...) is a prevalent primarily male, but scarcely girly forename. The forename Bīn is habitual in Eastern Asia, particularly China, where it is a common predominantly boy's, but very infrequently girly name. Very seldom, Bīn is the last name as well as the forename.
Bīn is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Kong Bin , the Water Margin character; Bing Mauricius , character in Goede tijden, slechte tijden and Bing , the fictional character in the Alfie Atkins universe, You're a Sly One, Alfie Atkins!.
