All around the world, 泽 (泽 , Chak , Zé , and others...) is a widespread largely male, but seldom feminine forename. The first name 泽 is habitual in Portugal, where it is quite a common predominantly masculine, but scarcely girly name, Hong Kong, where it is quite a common largely boy's, but infrequently feminine name, and Macao, where it is quite a rare boy's name. Measured by absolute frequency, it most frequently occurs in China, Portugal, and India. Very seldom, 泽 is the last name as well as the forename.
泽 is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Zé Gotinha , the mascot for the Brazilian polio vaccination campaign; Zé Povinho , the Portuguese everyman character; Zé Galo ; Zé do Caixão , the fictional character and Zé Bonitinho , character in Noites Cariocas.
