Throughout the world, Rufen (如芬 , 汝芬
, 茹芬
) is quite a rare primarily female, but very infrequently boy's forename. The forename Rufen is characteristic of China, where it is a rare predominantly female, but scarcely masculine name, and India, where it is an extremely rare dominantly female, but infrequently boy's name. Very seldom, Rufen is the last name as well as the forename.
