Worldwide, Sumner (Sumner 
, サムナー, Самнер 
) is quite a rare principally male, but scarcely female forename. The first name Sumner is habitual in the United States, where it is a rare predominantly masculine, but very seldom female name, Peru, where it is a rare masculine name, and Australia, where it is a very rare gender-neutral name. Measured by absolute frequency, it most frequently occurs in the United States, Peru, and China. More frequently, Sumner is the last name as well as the forename.
