Amari -
keeping with the times

Amari is a fairly recent phenomenon. In the past, the name wasn't really on the radar of expectant parents. Then, unexpectedly, Amari cried out for attention, reaching its peak in popularity at #198 in our SmartGenius statistics in the year 2022. People over 50 probably didn't have classmates named Amari, for there were many years in which not a single parent chose this first name for their newborn child. Although it also has never been in the top 100 of most popular first names, Amari 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 Amari was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

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 Amari 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.
