Across the world, القحطاني (القحطاني 
, Qahtani 
, Al-Qahtani ) is quite a rare largely male, but infrequently female first name. The first name القحطاني is characteristic of Western Asia, particularly Saudi Arabia, where it is quite a common dominantly masculine, but uncommonly female name, Qatar, where it is a rare boy's name, and Kuwait. Not in comparison with a country's population, the name is most common in Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and Egypt. Predominantly, القحطاني is the last name as well as the forename.
