Globally, Prakan (ปราการ 
, ประการ , Prakan 
) is quite a rare primarily masculine, but scarcely feminine given name. The forename Prakan is characteristic of Thailand, where it is quite a rare primarily boy's, but very seldom female name, and India, where it is an extremely rare epicene name. Very seldom, Prakan is the last name as well as the forename.
