Around the world, Sohar (Sohar 
, זהר , Сохар 
) is quite a common dominantly boy's, but seldom feminine first name. The first name Sohar is characteristic of Oman, where it is quite a rare mostly male, but infrequently female name, India, where it is a rare mostly masculine, but uncommonly girly name, and Israel, where it is a rare gender-neutral name. In absolute terms, this name is the most popular in India, Egypt, and Oman. Much less frequently, Sohar is the last name as well as the forename.
