Throughout the world, Priest (Priest 
, Прист, بريست) is a rare predominantly masculine, but scarcely female first name. The given name Priest is characteristic of Mongolia, where it is quite a rare boy's name, Nigeria, where it is a very rare principally boy's, but very seldom feminine name, and South Africa, where it is a very rare male name. Measured by absolute frequency, it is commonest in Nigeria, the United States, and Mongolia. Much more prevalently, Priest is the last name as well as the forename.
Priest is also a popular name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Priest , the character from 2010 film 'My Babysitter's a Vampire'; Priest , the operatic character in the opera Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District by Dmitri Shostakovich; Priest , the operatic character in the opera The Trial by Philip Glass; Priest , the character in the Lars von Trier film Breaking the Waves and Priest , the operatic character in the opera From the House of the Dead by Leoš Janáček, and in many other works.
