Around the world, Kanla (Kanla 
, กัลย์ , กัลฟ์ ) is quite a rare epicene first name. The forename Kanla is characteristic of Nigeria, where it is a rare male name, Thailand, where it is a very rare unisex name, and India, where it is a very rare dominantly female, but uncommonly masculine name. Much less frequently, Kanla is the last name as well as the forename.
