All over the world, فولان (Phoolan 
, Folan 
, فولان 
) is quite a common principally feminine, but scarcely male given name. The given name فولان is characteristic of India, where it is a rare feminine name, Egypt, where it is a rare masculine name, and Tunisia. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is commonest in India, Egypt, and Morocco. Very seldom, فولان is the last name as well as the forename.
