Sade is a female first name. In very rare cases it is also used for boys.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Sade is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 5 out of 100,000 girls have been named Sade. In the SmartGenius ranking, Sade is #2,206 on the list of most common girls names. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Sade.
Sade is a phenomenon of Generation X and Y. Previously, the name wasn't really on the radar of expectant parents. Schoolkids of the early 20th century probably didn't have classmates named Sade - until this very name unexpectedly cried out for attention and peaked in popularity at rank number 206 in 1986. Although it has never reached the top 100 list, this girls' name seems to have been in vogue for a while, which makes Sade really in tune with her generation.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Sade was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
86 babies were named Sade in 2022 - that's 1 in 1,723,627 newborn girls. With this number, the girls' name Sade ranked 1,967 in our SmartGenius first name statistics in 2022, the most recent year for which records are available.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter S is a very popular first letter for girls' names. That’s because 9.3% of all common girls’ names in the US begin with this letter. Only the first letter A is more common for girls' names.
With four letters, the name Sade is shorter than most other given names. In fact, only 5.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly four letters. Just 1.2% of all first names are even shorter, while 93% consist of more than four 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.
That means that if 9.3% of all girls' names start with an S, this initial letter occurs nearly three times as often as all other letters on average. And by the way: Of all the girls' names that start with an S, Susan is the most common.
If your name is Sade 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 Sade, you can simply say:
Sun
Apple
Dinosaur
Elephant
