All over the world, Golan (Golan , גולן , 戈兰 , among others...) is quite a common largely boy's, but infrequently feminine forename. The first name Golan is characteristic of Israel, where it is quite a common male name, Panama, where it is a rare male name, and Syria. Not in comparison with a country's population, the name is most common in Israel, India, and Indonesia. Likewise, Golan is the last name as well as the forename.
Golan is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Golan Trevize , the fictional charachter from the Foundation-Universe by Isaac Asimov, Foundation’s Edge and Goran Kalkbrenner , character in Storm of Love.
