Asriel is a first name for boys, occasionally also given to girls.
There’s a good chance that a boy named Asriel in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Asriel in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Asriel by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Asriel ranks at #5,972. That means there are 5,971 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 Asriel.
If you ever wanted to meet a boy or man named Asriel, you have limited options – because boys with this beautiful name are currently only living in California 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 Asriel living in one state or another. (If your name is Asriel and you live outside of California 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 1,523,210 boys and men would turn around if you called out the name Asriel. So if your name is Asriel, it’s very likely that you won’t need a nickname in your peer group, because having the name Asriel 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 six letters, the name Asriel 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.
If your name is Asriel 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...
