Globally, Potter (Potter 
, 波特 
, פוטר 
, among others...) is a rare largely boy's, but uncommonly feminine given name. The given name Potter is characteristic of Hong Kong, where it is a rare boy's name, Vietnam, where it is a very rare mostly boy's, but seldom female name, and the United Kingdom, where it is a very rare gender-neutral name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it most frequently occurs in China, Indonesia, and the United States. Much more frequently, Potter is the last name as well as the forename.
