The first name 
Ashvin

Ashvin is a male first name.

Ashvin – a very rare name!

Recently, the name Ashvin has been given only a handful of times a year and is therefore particularly rare, at least in the US. In recent years, not even one boy in 100,000 has been named Ashvin. That means that a boy named Ashvin is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name his whole life. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Ashvin.

Ashvin -
something very, very special - even in his home state California!

If you’re looking for someone named Ashvin, you might want to head to California. Why California of all places? Well, simply because, according to official statistics, there are no men or boys named Ashvin living in any other state. However, we have to admit that a first name is only listed in the official statistics of a state if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it may well be that there are still a few men and boys named Ashvin living in one state or another. But, in any case the name is extremely rare. (If your name happens to be Ashvin and you live outside of California, we would be very grateful if you could let us know so that we can refine our statistics even further). By the way, even in California, the name Ashvin is not really that common – there are only 12 men and boys with this name living there right now, which is not more than 0.00007% of all male residents of California – so if you are one of them, you can rightly say that you are someone very special!

Ashvin has 6 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 six letters, the name Ashvin is of average length. In fact, 28% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly six letters. 24% of all first names are shorter, while 48% have seven letters or more. 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
