Around the world, ריב (Reeve 
, Reeb , ריב 
) is a rare principally masculine, but very seldom feminine first name. The forename ריב is characteristic of Hong Kong, where it is quite a rare male name, Singapore, where it is a rare male name, and Australia, where it is a very rare epicene name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is commonest in the United States, Hong Kong, and Philippines. More prevalently, ריב is the last name as well as the forename.
