Arath is a first name for boys.
There’s a good chance that a boy named Arath in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Arath in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Arath by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Arath ranks at #3,593. That means there are 3,592 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 Arath.
In not even one in five states you will find more than 4 men and boys with the name Arath. This first name might not be completely unknown, but in the entire United States, there are about 692 Americans who bear this name. And these 692 men and boys named Arath live in no more than 8 different states, including for example Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida and Georgia. In the other 41 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 Arath lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Arath 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 Arath relative to its male population is Arizona. And even there, only one male in 31,162 would raise his hand if you asked, who is called Arath.
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 Arath 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.
If your name is Arath 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...
