Throughout the world, Chanik (Chanik 
, Чаник 
, ชนิก) is a rare principally boy's, but very infrequently female first name. The forename Chanik is characteristic of South Korea, where it is a rare boy's name, and India, where it is a very rare mostly male, but uncommonly girly name. Much less frequently, Chanik is the last name as well as the forename.
