Levin is a male first name. In very rare cases it is also used for girls.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Levin is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 2 out of 100,000 boys have been named Levin. In the SmartGenius ranking, Levin is #2,563 on the list of most common boys names. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Levin.
In not even one in five states you will find more than 4 men and boys with the name Levin. This first name might not be completely unknown, but in the entire United States, there are about 169 Americans who bear this name. And these 169 men and boys named Levin live in no more than 6 different states, including for example California, Maryland, New York, North Carolina and Texas. In the other 43 states, there are either none or less than a handful boys and men with this name (to explain: The official statistics provide the data per state only if at least five men with a specific name live in the same state. So, it’s quite possible that there are one or two states where someone with the name Levin lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Levin and you live outside the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics). The state with the most boys and men named Levin relative to its male population is Maryland. And even there, only one male in 54,706 would raise his hand if you asked, who is called Levin.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter L is neither particularly common nor particularly rare as a first letter for boys' names: 4.1% of all common boys' names in the US begin with this letter. By the way, the most common first letters of boys' names are J and A, while X and U are the least common initials of boys' names.
With five letters, the name Levin is comparatively short. In fact, 17.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly five letters. Only 7% of all first names are even shorter, while 75% have more than five letters. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long. There are no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.
Thus, it follows that with 4.1% of all boys' names starting with an L, this initial letter occurs about as often as all 26 letters on average. Nevertheless, there are boys' names with L that are quite common, the most common in the U.S. at present is Larry.
If your name is Levin and someone asks after your name, you can of course just tell them what it is. But sometimes that isn't so easy - what if it's too loud, and you don't understand them well? Or what if the other person is so far away that you can see them but not hear them? In these situations, you can communicate your name in so many other ways: you call spell it, sign it, or even use a flag to wave it...
So that everyone really understands you when you have to spell the name Levin, you can simply say:
Lion
Elephant
Violin
Igloo
