Around the globe, Payne (Payne 
, باين 
, פיין 
) is quite a rare epicene forename. The first name Payne is characteristic of Israel, where it is quite a rare female name, Sudan, where it is a rare boy's name, and the United States, where it is a rare principally masculine, but scarcely feminine name. Measured by absolute frequency, it is commonest in the United States, Nigeria, and Sudan. Predominantly, Payne is the last name as well as the forename.
Payne is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: .
