The first name 
Abran

Abran is a male first name.

Abran – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a boy named Abran in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Abran in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Abran by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Abran ranks at #3,711. That means there are 3,710 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 Abran.

Abran -
swimming against the tide

If your name is Abran your parents may be very proud to let their son swim against the tide: The name Abran has never ranked higher than position 1,443 in our statistics and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea to choose the name Abran for their son. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1940 to give the name more often than usual – only compared to the rest of the time, of course. You probably still won't find many children named Abran because that was several decades ago – unless, of course, you have some very creative parents in your neighborhood.

In years where the graph has no value, the name Abran was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

Abran -
at home only in a few regions of the USA

The first name Abran is a true rarity among all men and boys currently living in the United States – only 1,031 Americans in total bear this name. And these 1,031 men are located in only four states: Arizona, California, New Mexico and Texas (it should be noted that the official statistics provide the data per state only if there are at least 5 men with this name in the state. So, if your name is Abran and you live outside the states marked on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics). The state with the most boys and men named Abran in relation to it’s male population is New Mexico. And yet even there, only one in 8,732 men would raise his hand if asked whether there was a Abran present.

Abran has 5 letters 
and begins with an A

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 Abran 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.
