Across the world, Sugiyama (スギヤマ , Sugiyama , 杉山 , among others...) is a rare principally masculine, but very infrequently feminine given name. The first name Sugiyama is characteristic of Eastern Asia, particularly China, where it is a very rare dominantly masculine, but uncommonly girly name, and Japan, where it is a very rare boy's name. Much less frequently, Sugiyama is the last name as well as the forename.
