In all the world, Giap (Giap 
, Giáp , جياب 
) is quite a rare primarily masculine, but very infrequently female given name. The forename Giap is habitual in Vietnam, where it is quite a rare predominantly masculine, but scarcely girly name, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where it is a rare boy's name, and Yemen. More prevalently, Giap is the last name as well as the forename.
