The forename الغالي is characteristic of Sudan, where it is quite a common primarily male, but very infrequently female name, Syria, where it is quite a common epicene name, and Libya, where it is quite a common mostly male, but seldom girly name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it most frequently occurs in Sudan, Egypt, and Iraq. More frequently, الغالي is the last name as well as the forename.
