Around the globe, Hediya (هدية 
, הדיה

) is quite a common dominantly female, but uncommonly masculine first name. The forename Hediya is habitual in Syria, where it is quite a rare feminine name, Libya, where it is quite a rare gender-neutral name, and Sudan, where it is quite a rare female name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it most frequently occurs in Egypt, Sudan, and Syria.
