Alexandros is a first name for boys.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Alexandros is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 2 out of 100,000 boys have been named Alexandros. In the SmartGenius ranking, Alexandros is #2,640 on the list of most common boys names. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Alexandros.
In fact, the name Alexandros hardly fits the trend of first names for boys. Between 1976 and 1999, young parents changed that a bit. For many years, Alexandros wasn't given at all (or at least less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), but by 1977, the name was more popular than ever. Although the name never ranked higher than position 1,675, 26 parents chose it in 1977 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Alexandros, you were already special when you were born - and you did your best to become a trendsetter.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Alexandros was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the rare name Alexandros a few times. Among all newborn boys, it ranked 3,295, for a total of 29 babies. The name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it didn't appear at all for a many years. As Alexandros seems to be a bit more popular in the middle of the 20th century, it proves to remain a great rarity in 2022.
In not even one in five states you will find more than 4 men and boys with the name Alexandros. This first name might not be completely unknown, but in the entire United States, there are about 513 Americans who bear this name. And these 513 men and boys named Alexandros live in no more than 7 different states, including for example California, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts and New Jersey. In the other 42 states, there are either none or less than a handful boys and men with this name (to explain: The official statistics provide the data per state only if at least five men with a specific name live in the same state. So, it’s quite possible that there are one or two states where someone with the name Alexandros lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Alexandros and you live outside the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics).

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 ten letters, the name Alexandros is obviously a particularly long first name used in the U.S.: only 1.8% of all common first names have exactly ten letters. 98% of all first names are shorter, while only 0.6% of all boys’ and girls’ names need more than ten letters. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long with 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 you take all the letters in the name Alexandros – A, l, e, x, a, n, d, r, o and s – and put them together again, you can form other names, such as Alexsandro or Alexsondra.
If your name is Alexandros 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...
