Around the world, Hegel (Hegel 
, Гегель 
, Хегел ) is quite a rare predominantly male, but very seldom feminine first name. The given name Hegel is habitual in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where it is a rare masculine name, the Dominican Republic, where it is a rare gender-neutral name, and Hong Kong, where it is a rare masculine name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is commonest in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Peru, and Indonesia. Likewise, Hegel is the last name as well as the forename.
