About this list

Unisex names here are names our sources show in use for both boys and girls in Malaysia. The recorded gender rests on the records and sources we have; it does not mean a name is equally common for both, and parents are free to choose. These names also appear in the boy and girl lists. The list is ordered by the JPN name-popularity data on data.gov.my (the top 10 for each sex in each decade’s JPN table): names common in the 2010s first, then the total across all decades, then other records. Before registering a name, read the JPN name registration rules.

Frequently asked questions

How is a name classed as unisex?

We class it that way when a source or the JPN data shows the name used for both genders. A name whose records show only one gender stays in that gender’s list.

Can a unisex name be registered for either gender?

The Registrar-General decides whether a name is accepted, not this site. See the JPN name registration rules for what has been reported.
