Aram is a male first name. In very rare cases it is also used for girls.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Aram is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 4 out of 100,000 boys have been named Aram. In the SmartGenius ranking, Aram is #1,807 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 Aram.
If your name is Aram your parents may be very proud to let their son swim against the tide: The name Aram has never ranked higher than position 1,204 in our statistics and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea to choose the name Aram for their son. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1922 to give the name more often than usual – only compared to the rest of the time, of course. You probably still won't find many children named Aram because that was several decades ago – unless, of course, you have some very creative parents in your neighborhood.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Aram was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
As in the last century, Aram is still an exception. Even in 2022, the name was given very rarely - in fact, only 76 times in the entire USA. So a Aram of 2022 will need very good binoculars to spot the next namesake of the same age.
In not even one in five states you will find more than 4 men and boys with the name Aram. This first name might not be completely unknown, but in the entire United States, there are about 1,274 Americans who bear this name. And these 1,274 men and boys named Aram live in no more than 9 different states, including for example Arizona, California, Florida, Massachusetts and Michigan. In the other 40 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 Aram lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Aram and you live outside the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics). The state with the most boys and men named Aram relative to its male population is California. And even there, only one male in 17,504 would raise his hand if you asked, who is called Aram.
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 Aram 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 Aram 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...
