Arcangel is a first name for boys.
There’s a good chance that a boy named Arcangel in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Arcangel in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Arcangel by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Arcangel ranks at #5,197. That means there are 5,196 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 Arcangel.
If you ever wanted to meet a boy or man named Arcangel, you have limited options – because boys with this beautiful name are currently only living in New York or Texas. However, we must admit that a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it’s quite possible that there are still a few men and boys called Arcangel living in one state or another. (If your name is Arcangel and you live outside of New York and Texas, we’d really appreciate it if you’d let us know so we can refine our statistics even further.) Which means – if you put this number in relation to the population of the USA – only one in 1,218,568 boys and men would turn around if you called out the name Arcangel. So if your name is Arcangel, it’s very likely that you won’t need a nickname in your peer group, because having the name Arcangel already makes you quite special.
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 eight letters, the name Arcangel is long compared to other names. In fact, 14.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly eight letters. 78% of all first names are shorter, while only 8% of all boys’ and girls’ names use nine letters or even more. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long with 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 Arcangel 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...
