About one in twentyfive first names in the United States begins with the letter E…
This means that the initial E is neither particularly common nor particularly rare – with 26 letters in the alphabet, each initial occurs on average in 3.8 % of all names. In fact, the letters that form initials aren’t distributed evenly – some initials are very common, while others are very rare. The most common initials in the United States are A and J, while very few names begin with the letters U and X.
