All around the world, Stein (Stein 
, 斯坦 
, Стеин 
, among others...) is quite a rare largely male, but uncommonly girly forename. The first name Stein is habitual in Norway, where it is quite a common male name, Belgium, where it is quite a rare masculine name, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where it is a rare gender-neutral name. In absolute terms, it most frequently occurs in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Norway, and China. More prevalently, Stein is the last name as well as the forename.
