Aviel is a first name typically given to boys, but in rare cases also used as a girls name.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Aviel 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 Aviel. In the SmartGenius ranking, Aviel is #2,103 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 Aviel.
In fact, the name Aviel 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), Aviel seemed to be more popular than ever in 2021. Although the name never ranked higher than #1,502, 100 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Aviel, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Aviel was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the yet rare name Aviel a few times. Among all newborn boys it ranked #1,806 - with a total of 75 baby boys. This means, as you can see above, that the name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it supposedly didn't appear at all for many years - giving boys with this first name a sheen of something particularly contemporary and special.
In not even one in five states you will find more than 4 men and boys with the name Aviel. This first name might not be completely unknown, but in the entire United States, there are about 417 Americans who bear this name. And these 417 men and boys named Aviel live in no more than 7 different states, including for example California, Florida, Massachusetts, New York and North Carolina. In the other 42 states, there are either none or less than a handful boys and men with this name (to explain: The official statistics provide the data per state only if at least five men with a specific name live in the same state. So, it’s quite possible that there are one or two states where someone with the name Aviel lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Aviel and you live outside the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics). The state with the most boys and men named Aviel relative to its male population is New York. And even there, only one male in 77,370 would raise his hand if you asked, who is called Aviel.
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 Aviel 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 Aviel 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...
