All around the world, Meneses (Meneses 
, Менесес 
) is a rare gender-neutral first name. The first name Meneses is characteristic of Colombia, where it is a rare epicene name, Peru, where it is a very rare masculine name, and Philippines, where it is a very rare primarily masculine, but scarcely female name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is the most numerous in Colombia, Brazil, and Philippines. Much more prevalently, Meneses is the last name as well as the forename.
