Aayan is a male first name.
Aayan is a well-known name in the US, but is still special. It is currently only given to every ten thousandth boy, and therefore ranks at 1098 in the SmartGenius statistics. This means there are 1,097 boys names that are more common, but also tens of thousands that are much rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Aayan.
The odds of having a man or boy named Aayan in your home state are about the same as the chance for a white Christmas in New York City – in both cases they are less than 30%. More precisely, the first name Aayan is registered in 18 states, among which are California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida or Georgia. In proportion to the male population, most men and boys with the first name Aayan live in New Jersey, but even there the name is rather special – on average, you would have to ask 29,143 men and boys in New Jersey for their name before you meet one who answers with Aayan.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter A is a very popular first letter for boys’ names. That’s because 9.0% of all common boys’ names in the US begin with this letter. Only the first letter J is more common for boys' names.
With five letters, the name Aayan 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.
That means that if 9.0% of all boys' names start with an A, this initial letter occurs nearly three times as often as all other letters on average. And by the way: Of all the boys' names that start with an A, Anthony is the most common.
If your name is Aayan 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...
