All around the world, Bakytkan (Бакыткан 
, Bakytkan ) is a rare unisex forename. The forename Bakytkan is characteristic of Central Asia, particularly Kazakhstan, where it is quite a rare epicene name, and Kyrgyzstan, where it is a rare principally feminine, but scarcely boy's name. Much less frequently, Bakytkan is the last name as well as the forename.
