Throughout the world, Shahr (شاهر 
, Shahr 
) is a common mostly masculine, but seldom female first name. The forename Shahr is characteristic of Syria, where it is quite a common masculine name, Saudi Arabia, where it is quite a rare male name, and Egypt, where it is quite a rare primarily masculine, but very infrequently girly name. Much less frequently, Shahr is the last name as well as the forename.
