Worldwide, Prudent (Prudent 
, Prudenta 
) is quite a common predominantly masculine, but very infrequently female first name. The forename Prudent is characteristic of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where it is quite a common male name, Nigeria, where it is a rare epicene name, and France, where it is a rare predominantly male, but scarcely girly name. Likewise, Prudent is the last name as well as the forename.
