All around the world, عبيدة (عبيدة , Ubaida , Obeida ) is a common gender-neutral first name. The first name عبيدة is characteristic of Syria, where it is quite a common dominantly masculine, but seldom girly name, Iraq, where it is quite a rare principally male, but very seldom feminine name, and Libya, where it is quite a rare epicene name. Measured by absolute frequency, it is commonest in Syria, Iraq, and Nigeria. Much less frequently, عبيدة is the last name as well as the forename.
