All around the world, 香兰 (香兰 
, Xianglan 
) is a common primarily feminine, but scarcely male first name. The first name 香兰 is characteristic of China, where it is quite a rare predominantly girly, but very seldom boy's name, and the United States, where it is an extremely rare gender-neutral name. Much less frequently, 香兰 is the last name as well as the forename.
