Across the world, ואני (Vanny 
, ואני 
) is a common epicene first name. The forename ואני is characteristic of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where it is quite a rare epicene name, Fiji, where it is quite a rare female name, and Indonesia, where it is quite a rare largely female, but infrequently boy's name. Not in comparison with a country's population, the name is most common in Indonesia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and the United States. Much less frequently, ואני is the last name as well as the forename.
