Atif is a male first name.
There’s a good chance that a boy named Atif in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Atif in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Atif by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Atif ranks at #6,683. That means there are 6,682 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 Atif.
Do you know the feeling when you go to the zoo and the animal that is supposed to be in the enclosure is not there? You know it should be there, but you've never seen it? It's the same with Atif. Boys named Atif have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it a few years ago: At No. 2,227 Atif ranked higher than ever before in 1978. By comparison, there have been 95 years in which the first name Atif has not been given at all (or less than 5 times, which is the minimum number required for a name to be included in the statistics), most recently in 2006. In general, parents name their sons Atif only once in a blue moon, so boys and men with this name can consider themselves exceptional!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Atif was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, Atif continues to be a precious jewel: 10 newborns were named Atif that year, ranking #6,627 in the SmartGenius name statistics. If your baby's name is Atif, you must have a flair for beautiful and rare names: Congratulations, your child is sure to feel unique.
If you ever wanted to meet a boy or man named Atif, you have limited options – because boys with this beautiful name are currently only living in . 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 Atif living in one state or another. (If your name is Atif and you live outside of , 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 1,276,610 boys and men would turn around if you called out the name Atif. So if your name is Atif, it’s very likely that you won’t need a nickname in your peer group, because having the name Atif 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 four letters, the name Atif 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 Atif 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...
