In the entire world, البركان (البركان 
) is quite a rare dominantly boy's, but seldom girly given name. The forename البركان is habitual in Libya, where it is quite a rare predominantly male, but very infrequently female name, Iraq, where it is a rare mostly masculine, but infrequently girly name, and Syria, where it is a rare boy's name. Not in comparison with a country's population, the name is most common in Egypt, Libya, and Iraq. Likewise, البركان is the last name as well as the forename.
