Globally, Batang (Batang 
) is quite a rare principally boy's, but very seldom female first name. The first name Batang is characteristic of Western Asia, particularly Qatar, where it is quite a rare boy's name, Saudi Arabia, where it is quite a rare primarily male, but scarcely girly name, and United Arab Emirates, where it is a rare boy's name. Not in comparison with a country's population, this name is the most popular in Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, and Philippines. More frequently, Batang is the last name as well as the forename.
