All around the world, Macpherson (Macpherson 
, Макферсон 
) is a rare predominantly masculine, but very infrequently female first name. The given name Macpherson is habitual in Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where it is a rare masculine name, Nigeria, where it is a rare principally masculine, but very infrequently feminine name, and South Africa, where it is a very rare boy's name. Much more prevalently, Macpherson is the last name as well as the forename.
