Throughout the world, 宏治 (Hongzhi , 宏治 ) is quite a rare principally male, but very seldom feminine forename. The given name 宏治 is characteristic of China, where it is a rare predominantly masculine, but scarcely female name, and the United States, where it is a very rare gender-neutral name. Very seldom, 宏治 is the last name as well as the forename.
