This.

Even in the West, we have plenty of unisex names that could easily fit both men and women. E.g., "Alex", "Morgan", "Reese", "Taylor", etc.

For non-Western names, not everyone would be familiar with the cultural context behind the language's naming schemes or gender context.

Yep, in France it is recommended that if you have a non-Western name, you put "monsieur" or "madame" in front of your name on CVs, etc. to help prevent confusion on the part of potential readers.

A large question, however, is why gender is relevant on a CV...
