Abid is a first name for boys.
There’s a good chance that a boy named Abid in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Abid in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Abid by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Abid ranks at #6,847. That means there are 6,846 more common boys names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Abid.
In fact, the name Abid hardly fits the trend of first names for boys. Between 1976 and 1999, young parents changed that a bit. For many years, Abid wasn't given at all (or at least less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), but by 1997, the name was more popular than ever. Although the name never ranked higher than position 3,763, 15 parents chose it in 1997 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Abid, you were already special when you were born - and you did your best to become a trendsetter.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Abid was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the rare name Abid a few times. Among all newborn boys, it ranked 7,630, for a total of 8 babies. The name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it didn't appear at all for a many years. As Abid seems to be a bit more popular in the middle of the 20th century, it proves to remain a great rarity in 2022.
If you ever wanted to meet a boy or man named Abid, you have limited options – because boys with this beautiful name are currently only living in . However, we must admit that a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it’s quite possible that there are still a few men and boys called Abid living in one state or another. (If your name is Abid and you live outside of , we’d really appreciate it if you’d let us know so we can refine our statistics even further.) Which means – if you put this number in relation to the population of the USA – only one in 345,030 boys and men would turn around if you called out the name Abid. So if your name is Abid, it’s very likely that you won’t need a nickname in your peer group, because having the name Abid already makes you quite special.
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 four letters, the name Abid 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 9.0% 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 Abid 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 Abid, you can simply say:
