All over the world, Hires (Hires 
) is a rare principally masculine, but scarcely female first name. The forename Hires is habitual in India, where it is a very rare predominantly boy's, but scarcely girly name, Brazil, where it is an extremely rare gender-neutral name, and China, where it is an extremely rare male name. More frequently, Hires is the last name as well as the forename.
