All over the world, Caress (ศลิษา 
, Caresse 
, Caress 
) is quite a common mostly girly, but uncommonly masculine first name. The first name Caress is characteristic of Thailand, where it is quite a rare dominantly female, but seldom male name, Cameroon, where it is a rare girly name, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where it is a rare gender-neutral name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it most frequently occurs in Thailand, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and the United States. Very seldom, Caress is the last name as well as the forename.
