Across the world, Byas (Byas 
) is a common predominantly male, but very seldom female first name. The first name Byas is characteristic of Western Asia, particularly Qatar, where it is quite a rare male name, United Arab Emirates, and Oman. Not in comparison with a country's population, the name is most common in India, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Saudi Arabia. Very seldom, Byas is the last name as well as the forename.
