Across the world, Линя (Linya 
, Linia 
, Linâ 
) is a rare largely girly, but uncommonly masculine forename. The given name Линя is habitual in Algeria, where it is a rare feminine name, Morocco, where it is a very rare female name, and Philippines, where it is a very rare dominantly female, but seldom male name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it most frequently occurs in India, Indonesia, and Brazil. Much less frequently, Линя is the last name as well as the forename.
