Worldwide, Nhal (نهال 
, Nhal 
, نحال

The forename Nhal is characteristic of Northern Africa, particularly Sudan, where it is quite a common principally feminine, but scarcely masculine name, Libya, where it is quite a rare feminine name, and Egypt, where it is quite a rare predominantly girly, but scarcely male name. In absolute terms, this name is the most popular in Northern Africa, particularly Sudan, Egypt, and Algeria. Very seldom, Nhal is the last name as well as the forename.
