Adama -
ahead of the curve

In fact, the name Adama did not fit the trend of the last century. Young parents in the 2000s began to change that a bit. After several years of not being given at all (or less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), Adama seemed to be more popular than ever in 2017. Although the name never ranked higher than #6,347, 41 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Adama, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.

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

In 2022, expectant parents chose the yet rare name Adama a few times. Among all babies it ranked #6,874 - with a total of 37 newborns. This means, as you can see above, that the name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it supposedly didn't appear at all for many years - giving children with this first name a sheen of something particularly contemporary and special.

Adama 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 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 Adama 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.
