Around the globe, Phutthawan (พุทธาวรรณ 
, Phutthawan , พุทธวัลย์ ) is a very rare dominantly feminine, but seldom boy's first name. The forename Phutthawan is characteristic of South-eastern Asia, particularly Thailand, where it is a very rare principally girly, but scarcely boy's name. Likewise, Phutthawan is the last name as well as the forename.
