Around the world, 氏 (Uji 
, 氏 ) is quite a common epicene given name. The forename 氏 is characteristic of Indonesia, where it is quite a rare unisex name, Nigeria, where it is a rare epicene name, and India, where it is a rare primarily feminine, but scarcely boy's name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it most frequently occurs in Indonesia, India, and China. Much less frequently, 氏 is the last name as well as the forename.
氏 is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Uji Hachinomiya , the fictional character from The Tale of Genji.
