Throughout the world, אלוהים (اللهم 
, Elohim 
, אלוהים 
) is a common gender-neutral given name. The forename אלוהים is characteristic of Egypt, where it is quite a common gender-neutral name, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where it is quite a rare gender-neutral name, and Libya. Not in comparison with a country's population, this name is the most popular in Egypt, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Iraq. Very seldom, אלוהים is the last name as well as the forename.
