Globally, Lup (Lup 
, Lupus , Loep 
) is a rare dominantly masculine, but uncommonly female given name. The first name Lup is habitual in Romania, where it is quite a rare epicene name, Hong Kong, where it is a rare male name, and Indonesia, where it is a rare principally masculine, but very seldom feminine name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is the most numerous in Indonesia, Romania, and India. More frequently, Lup is the last name as well as the forename.
