The first name Shahriyar is characteristic of Azerbaijan, where it is quite a rare masculine name, Bangladesh, where it is a rare male name, and Iraq, where it is a rare gender-neutral name. In absolute terms, it is the most numerous in Bangladesh, Iran, and Egypt. Much less frequently, Shahriyar is the last name as well as the forename.
