Globally, Lotif (Lotif 
) is quite a rare principally masculine, but scarcely girly first name. The first name Lotif is characteristic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, where it is quite a rare masculine name, Oman, and Saudi Arabia, where it is a rare dominantly male, but uncommonly female name. Not in comparison with a country's population, the name is most common in India, Bangladesh, and Saudi Arabia. More frequently, Lotif is the last name as well as the forename.
