Around the globe, Dai (Dai
, 戴
, ダイ
, among others...) is a common gender-neutral forename. The given name Dai is habitual in Mongolia, where it is quite a common epicene name, Macao, and Vietnam, where it is quite a rare principally boy's, but very seldom girly name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is the most numerous in India, Vietnam, and China. Much more frequently, Dai is the last name as well as the forename.
