Across the world, Hymen (Himen , 海门 , هيمين ) is a rare principally masculine, but very infrequently girly first name. The given name Hymen is characteristic of Iraq, where it is a rare masculine name, India, where it is a very rare predominantly male, but scarcely feminine name, and France, where it is a very rare gender-neutral name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it most frequently occurs in India, China, and Iraq. Very seldom, Hymen is the last name as well as the forename.
Hymen is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Hymen , the Greek god of marriage ceremonies and Hymen , the operatic character in the opera The Fairy-Queen by Henry Purcell.
