Few children have been named Adair in recent years. Although it is used several times each year, only approximately 2 out of 100,000 children are currently called Adair.

While Adair isn't one of the most popular names of all time, it seems to be attracting more and more parents in the 21st century. In 2007 the name Adair reached its highest popularity with #3,114 in our ranking of all first names. Because it's so exquisite, moms and dads haven't always thought of naming their child Adair (or at least not more than four in some years as there must be at least five newborns named Adair to appear in the official statistics). Using these criteria, the first name Adair has been given to babies in 106 of the 143 years since records began, making kids with this name still very special today.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Adair was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, 64 babies were born with the name Adair. This puts the name in rank 4,744 in the SmartGenius statistics - or in other words, one in 5,165,655 newborns was named Adair that year. Ever since first names have been registered, Adair has been and remains marvelously unusual!
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter A is the most popular first letter for given names. 10.3% of all common first names in the US start with this letter. The second most common initial letter in first names is J.
With five letters, the name Adair 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 10.3% of all first names start with an A, this initial letter occurs nearly three times as often as all other letters on average.
If your name is Adair 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...
