Aman is a male first name. In some cases it's also given to girls.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Aman is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 3 out of 100,000 boys have been named Aman. In the SmartGenius ranking, Aman is #2,238 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 Aman.
In fact, the name Aman 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), Aman seemed to be more popular than ever in 2001. Although the name never ranked higher than #1,073, 120 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Aman, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Aman was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the yet rare name Aman a few times. Among all newborn boys it ranked #2,372 - with a total of 49 baby boys. 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 boys with this first name a sheen of something particularly contemporary and special.
The odds of having a man or boy named Aman 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 Aman is registered in 12 states, among which are California, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland or Massachusetts. In proportion to the male population, most men and boys with the first name Aman live in New Jersey, but even there the name is rather special – on average, you would have to ask 39,355 men and boys in New Jersey for their name before you meet one who answers with Aman.
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 four letters, the name Aman is shorter than most other given names. In fact, only 5.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly four letters. Just 1.2% of all first names are even shorter, while 93% consist of more than four 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 Aman 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...
