In all the world, Thursday (พฤหัส , Thursday , Taije ) is quite a rare dominantly male, but seldom feminine given name. The forename Thursday is habitual in Thailand, where it is quite a rare largely masculine, but uncommonly feminine name, Nigeria, where it is a rare epicene name, and Philippines, where it is a very rare unisex name. Not in comparison with a country's population, this name is the most popular in Thailand, Nigeria, and the United States. Much less frequently, Thursday is the last name as well as the forename.
Thursday is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Thursday Next , the fictional character in novels by Jasper Fforde, Thursday Next.
