Around the world, Arıkan (Arikan 
, Arıkan 
, Арыкан 
) is a rare gender-neutral forename. The first name Arıkan is habitual in Turkey, where it is a rare predominantly masculine, but very seldom feminine name, Sweden, where it is a rare boy's name, and Nigeria, where it is a very rare epicene name. Not in comparison with a country's population, this name is the most popular in Turkey, Nigeria, and Indonesia. Much more frequently, Arıkan is the last name as well as the forename.
