In the world, Narayanan (Narayanan , นารายณ์ , Нараянан ) is a common boy's first name. The first name Narayanan is characteristic of Western Asia, particularly Bahrain, where it is quite a rare boy's name, Oman, where it is quite a rare primarily male, but scarcely feminine name, and United Arab Emirates, where it is quite a rare masculine name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it most frequently occurs in India, Saudi Arabia, and United Arab Emirates. Much less frequently, Narayanan is the last name as well as the forename.
