All around the world, Petrarch (Petrarca 
, Petrarch 
, Петрарка) is a very rare largely boy's, but infrequently female first name. The forename Petrarch is characteristic of Italy, where it is a very rare dominantly male, but uncommonly feminine name, and Brazil, where it is an extremely rare male name. Much more frequently, Petrarch is the last name as well as the forename.
