Globally, Meilan (美兰 , Meilan , 妹兰 ) is a common primarily female, but very seldom male first name. The first name Meilan is characteristic of China, where it is quite a rare principally female, but scarcely boy's name, Hong Kong, where it is quite a rare girly name, and Indonesia, where it is a rare mostly female, but uncommonly boy's name. Not in comparison with a country's population, the name is most common in China, Indonesia, and South Korea. Much less frequently, Meilan is the last name as well as the forename.
