Asad is a male first name.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Asad is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 3 out of 100,000 boys have been named Asad. In the SmartGenius ranking, Asad is #2,045 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 Asad.
In fact, the name Asad did not fit the trend of the last century. Young parents in the 2000s began to change that a bit. After several years of not being given at all (or less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), Asad seemed to be more popular than ever in 2022. Although the name never ranked higher than #1,651, 88 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Asad, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Asad was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

More precisely, the first name Asad is registered in 13 states, among which are California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois or Michigan. In proportion to the male population, most men and boys with the first name Asad live in New Jersey, but even there the name is rather special – on average, you would have to ask 46,511 men and boys in New Jersey for their name before you meet one who answers with Asad.
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 Asad 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 Asad 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...
