Worldwide, Shaista (Shaista 
, Шаиста

The first name Shaista is habitual in Pakistan, where it is quite a common largely feminine, but uncommonly boy's name, India, where it is quite a rare female name, and United Arab Emirates, where it is quite a rare largely feminine, but uncommonly boy's name.
