Globally, Йигит (Yiğit 
, Yigit , Jigit 
) is quite a rare principally masculine, but scarcely feminine first name. The forename Йигит is characteristic of Turkey, where it is quite a rare male name, Austria, where it is a rare male name, and Belgium, where it is a rare dominantly masculine, but infrequently feminine name. Not in comparison with a country's population, the name is most common in Turkey, Germany, and Indonesia. More frequently, Йигит is the last name as well as the forename.
