Adiel is a first name typically given to boys, but in rare cases also used as a girls name.
Adiel 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 1188 in the SmartGenius statistics. This means there are 1,187 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 Adiel.
Adiel is a fairly recent phenomenon. In the past, the name wasn't really on the radar of expectant parents. Then, unexpectedly, Adiel cried out for attention, reaching its peak in popularity at #991 in our SmartGenius statistics in the year 2017. People over 50 probably didn't have classmates named Adiel, for there were many years in which not a single parent chose this first name for their son. Although it also has never been in the top 100 of most popular first names, Adiel seems to have been in vogue for a while, especially since the beginning of the new millennium.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Adiel was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
142 babies were named Adiel in 2022 - that's 1 in 1,136,803 newborn boys. With this number, the boys' name Adiel ranked 1,216 in our SmartGenius first name statistics in 2022, the most recent year for which records are available.
The odds of having a man or boy named Adiel 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 Adiel is registered in 18 states, among which are Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado or Florida. In proportion to the male population, most men and boys with the first name Adiel live in Arizona, but even there the name is rather special – on average, you would have to ask 31,162 men and boys in Arizona for their name before you meet one who answers with Adiel.
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 Adiel 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 Adiel 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...
