Around the world, Khanam (خانم , Khanam , খানম ) is quite a common principally female, but very infrequently male first name. The forename Khanam is characteristic of Syria, where it is quite a rare feminine name, Afghanistan, where it is a rare feminine name, and Pakistan, where it is a rare epicene name. Measured by absolute frequency, it is commonest in Southern Asia, particularly India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. More prevalently, Khanam is the last name as well as the forename.
