Throughout the world, Герл (Gerl 
, Герл 
, Guerl 
) is a rare principally boy's, but scarcely feminine first name. The first name Герл is characteristic of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where it is a rare boy's name, and the United States, where it is an extremely rare epicene name. More frequently, Герл is the last name as well as the forename.
