In the entire world, 高明 (高明 , Takaaki ) is a common principally masculine, but very seldom female first name. The first name 高明 is characteristic of China, where it is quite a rare principally masculine, but very infrequently feminine name, Japan, where it is a rare boy's name, and Tanzania, where it is a very rare male name. Not in comparison with a country's population, this name is the most popular in China, Japan, and the United States. Much less frequently, 高明 is the last name as well as the forename.
