Around the world, Ikhtibar (Ikhtibar 
, Ихтибар 
) is a very rare predominantly female, but very infrequently boy's first name. The first name Ikhtibar is characteristic of Central Asia, particularly Kyrgyzstan, where it is a rare principally girly, but very seldom masculine name, and Kazakhstan, where it is a very rare feminine name. Very seldom, Ikhtibar is the last name as well as the forename.
