Throughout the world, Manche (Manche 
, Mancia 
, Manchar 
) is quite a rare gender-neutral forename. The given name Manche is characteristic of Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where it is a rare feminine name, South Africa, where it is a rare epicene name, and Tanzania, where it is a very rare boy's name. Measured by absolute frequency, it is commonest in India, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and South Africa. More prevalently, Manche is the last name as well as the forename.
