Globally, Gottlob (جوزيف , Gottlob , Готлоб ) is a common boy's first name. The first name Gottlob is characteristic of Lebanon, where it is quite a common boy's name, Syria, and Egypt, where it is quite a rare primarily male, but scarcely female name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it most frequently occurs in Egypt, Sudan, and Syria. Much less frequently, Gottlob is the last name as well as the forename.
Gottlob is also a prevalent name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Joseph , the Biblical figure, son of Jacob and Rachel, The Qur’an; Joseph of Arimathea , the disciple of Jesus, donated his own prepared tomb for the burial of Jesus, Gospel of Mark; Captain Marvel , the fictional DC character, Batman: The Brave and the Bold; Lex Luthor , the supervillain appearing in DC Comics publications and related media, Justice League and Joe Biden , the fictional parody character from The Onion loosely based on the real Joe Biden, and in many other works.
