Around the globe, Perkin (Perkin , 泊金 , Перкин ) is a rare primarily male, but very seldom feminine first name. The forename Perkin is characteristic of the Dominican Republic, where it is a rare masculine name, Peru, where it is a very rare masculine name, and Philippines, where it is a very rare primarily boy's, but very infrequently female name. Not in comparison with a country's population, the name is most common in Philippines, the Dominican Republic, and the United States. More frequently, Perkin is the last name as well as the forename.
