All over the world, طبيب (Tabib 
, طبيب 
, Toubib 
) is quite a rare principally masculine, but very infrequently feminine first name. The first name طبيب is characteristic of Northern Africa, particularly Algeria, where it is a rare male name, Tunisia, where it is a rare unisex name, and Morocco, where it is a rare primarily boy's, but very seldom female name. Not in comparison with a country's population, this name is the most popular in India, Algeria, and Morocco. More frequently, طبيب is the last name as well as the forename.
