Worldwide, Ker (Kar 
, Ker 
, كير 
, and others...) is a widespread predominantly boy's, but very infrequently female given name. The first name Ker is characteristic of Mongolia, where it is a prevalent boy's name, Algeria, where it is quite a rare gender-neutral name, and Hong Kong. Not in comparison with a country's population, it most frequently occurs in Mongolia, India, and Egypt. More prevalently, Ker is the last name as well as the forename.
