Across the world, Masina (Masina 
, Machina 
, Мазина 
) is quite a common predominantly feminine, but very seldom masculine forename. The forename Masina is habitual in India, where it is a rare principally female, but very infrequently male name, Uzbekistan, where it is a rare girly name, and South Africa, where it is a rare unisex name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is commonest in India, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and South Africa. More prevalently, Masina is the last name as well as the forename.
