Worldwide, Rukya (Rukya 
) is quite a common predominantly female, but scarcely boy's first name. The first name Rukya is characteristic of Saudi Arabia, where it is a rare dominantly girly, but uncommonly male name, United Arab Emirates, where it is a rare girly name, and India, where it is a rare principally female, but very seldom male name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it most frequently occurs in India, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey. Very seldom, Rukya is the last name as well as the forename.
