All around the world, Puran (Puran , 普伦 , Пуран ) is a widespread principally boy's, but very infrequently girly forename. The forename Puran is characteristic of India, where it is quite a common predominantly male, but scarcely female name, Qatar, and United Arab Emirates, where it is quite a rare boy's name. In absolute terms, this name is the most popular in India, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan. Much less frequently, Puran is the last name as well as the forename.
