Around the globe, Wanes (Wanes 
) is a rare principally male, but scarcely feminine first name. The first name Wanes is characteristic of Libya, where it is quite a rare boy's name, Tunisia, and Syria, where it is a rare masculine name. In absolute terms, this name is the most popular in Northern Africa, particularly Libya, Tunisia, and Egypt. More frequently, Wanes is the last name as well as the forename.
