The forename محتار is characteristic of Northern Africa, particularly Sudan, where it is quite a rare boy's name, Egypt, where it is quite a rare largely boy's, but infrequently female name, and Libya, where it is a rare masculine name. Not in comparison with a country's population, this name is the most popular in Egypt, Sudan, and Saudi Arabia. Also, محتار is the last name as well as the forename.
