Areeb is a male first name.
There’s a good chance that a boy named Areeb in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Areeb in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Areeb by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Areeb ranks at #6,164. That means there are 6,163 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 Areeb.
The first name Areeb is a true rarity among all men and boys currently living in the United States – only 27 Americans in total bear this name. And these 27 men are located in only four states: California, Illinois, 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 Areeb 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 Areeb in relation to it’s male population is New York. And yet even there, only one in 1,160,555 men would raise his hand if asked whether there was a Areeb present.
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 Areeb 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 Areeb 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...
So that everyone really understands you when you have to spell the name Areeb, you can simply say:
