Amiri is a name for all genders, somewhat more commonly used for boys.
Few children have been named Amiri in recent years. Although it is used several times each year, only approximately 5 out of 100,000 children are currently called Amiri. Whether you’re a boy or a girl, you will most likely be the only person with the special name Amiri at your school. In our SmartGenius ranking, Amiri is number *** on the list of most common first names.
Amiri is a fairly recent phenomenon. In the past, the name wasn't really on the radar of expectant parents. Then, unexpectedly, Amiri cried out for attention, reaching its peak in popularity at #731 in our SmartGenius statistics in the year 2022. People over 50 probably didn't have classmates named Amiri, 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, Amiri 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 Amiri was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
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 Amiri 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 10.3% of all first names start with an A, this initial letter occurs nearly three times as often as all other letters on average.
If your name is Amiri 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...
