Adler is a fairly recent phenomenon. In the past, the name wasn't really on the radar of expectant parents. Then, unexpectedly, Adler cried out for attention, reaching its peak in popularity at #776 in our SmartGenius statistics in the year 2021. People over 50 probably didn't have classmates named Adler, 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, Adler 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 Adler was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
246 babies were named Adler in 2022 - that's 1 in 701,852 newborn boys. With this number, the boys' name Adler ranked 867 in our SmartGenius first name statistics in 2022, the most recent year for which records are available.
You may not know anyone named Adler, but there’s a good chance you live in the same state as someone with that name. In fact, 30 states are home to men and boys named Adler. (To be fair, 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 entirely possible that there are still a few men and boys named Adler living in one state or another. If your name is Adler and you live outside of the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can refine our statistics even further). And while the first name is present in many states, it is still not one of the popular ones. In Kansas, which has the most people named Adler relative to the population, you still have to ask 27,994 men and boys their names before you hear Adler as an answer just once.
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 Adler 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 Adler 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...
