Around the globe, ماطر (ماطر 
, Matr 
) is quite a rare predominantly boy's, but very seldom female given name. The first name ماطر is characteristic of Western Asia, particularly Saudi Arabia, where it is quite a rare male name, Kuwait, where it is a rare masculine name, and Syria. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is commonest in Saudi Arabia, India, and Egypt. More frequently, ماطر is the last name as well as the forename.
