Throughout the world, Kanie (カニエ 
, Kanie 
) is a rare largely feminine, but seldom male first name. The given name Kanie is habitual in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where it is a rare female name, South Africa, where it is a very rare epicene name, and the United States, where it is an extremely rare epicene name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is commonest in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, China, and South Africa. Very seldom, Kanie is the last name as well as the forename.
