Across the world, Friese (Friso , Friese , Фриз ) is a rare principally masculine, but scarcely girly forename. The first name Friese is habitual in Netherlands, where it is quite a rare male name, Italy, where it is a rare primarily male, but very infrequently girly name, and Germany. More frequently, Friese is the last name as well as the forename.
