Around the world, Perl (Perl , פרל , パール ) is a rare primarily girly, but scarcely boy's given name. The first name Perl is habitual in Algeria, where it is a rare female name, Saudi Arabia, where it is a very rare feminine name, and the United States, where it is a very rare primarily girly, but very infrequently masculine name. Not in comparison with a country's population, this name is the most popular in India, Algeria, and the United States. More prevalently, Perl is the last name as well as the forename.
Perl is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Perl Camel , the mascot of the Perl programming language; Perl , the operatic character in the opera 200.000 Taler, 200 000 Taler; Pearl Krabs , the main character in SpongeBob SquarePants; Pearl Took , the Middle-earth, The Lord of the Rings and Pearl Nygaard , character in The Crocodile's Dilemma, among other works.
