The first name 
Arash

Arash is a first name for boys.

Arash – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a boy named Arash in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Arash in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Arash by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Arash ranks at #5,430. That means there are 5,429 more common boys names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Arash.

Arash -
special from day one

In fact, the name Arash hardly fits the trend of first names for boys. Between 1976 and 1999, young parents changed that a bit. For many years, Arash 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 1982, the name was more popular than ever. Although the name never ranked higher than position 1,359, 41 parents chose it in 1982 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Arash, 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 Arash was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

Arash - originality welcome!

In 2022, expectant parents chose the rare name Arash a few times. Among all newborn boys, it ranked 4,483, for a total of 18 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 Arash seems to be a bit more popular in the middle of the 20th century, it proves to remain a great rarity in 2022.

Arash -
at home only in a few regions of the USA

The first name Arash is a true rarity among all men and boys currently living in the United States – only 323 Americans in total bear this name. And these 323 men are located in only three states: California, New York and Texas (it should be noted that the official statistics provide the data per state only if there are at least 5 men with this name in the state. So, if your name is Arash and you live outside the states marked on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics). The state with the most boys and men named Arash in relation to it’s male population is California. And yet even there, only one in 54,258 men would raise his hand if asked whether there was a Arash present.

Arash has 5 letters 
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 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 five letters, the name Arash 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 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.

Other names with
