Across the world, Placid (Placide 
, Placid 
, Placidus 
) is a common dominantly masculine, but infrequently girly first name. The given name Placid is characteristic of Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly Cameroon, where it is quite a rare mostly male, but seldom female name, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Rwanda, where it is quite a rare male name. In absolute terms, it is the most numerous in Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Cameroon, and Nigeria. Very seldom, Placid is the last name as well as the forename.
