Throughout the world, پادشاه (Pasha , پادشاه , Padisah ) is quite a common mostly boy's, but uncommonly girly given name. The forename پادشاه is characteristic of Georgia, where it is quite a common mostly female, but infrequently masculine name, Iraq, where it is quite a rare mostly boy's, but seldom female name, and Moldova, where it is quite a rare masculine name. Not in comparison with a country's population, this name is the most popular in Indonesia, Iraq, and Georgia. More prevalently, پادشاه is the last name as well as the forename.
پادشاه is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Pasha Seid , the operatic character in the opera Il corsaro by Giuseppe Verdi and Pasha Antipov , the musical character in the musical Doctor Zhivago by Lucy Simon.
