Across the world, ปรากฏ (ปรากฏ 
, Prakot 
) is a very rare dominantly male, but uncommonly female forename. The first name ปรากฏ is habitual in South-eastern Asia, particularly Thailand, where it is a very rare largely boy's, but seldom girly name. More prevalently, ปรากฏ is the last name as well as the forename.
