Avraham is a first name for boys.
Avraham is a well-known name in the US, but is still special. It is currently only given to every ten thousandth boy, and therefore ranks at 1085 in the SmartGenius statistics. This means there are 1,084 boys names that are more common, but also tens of thousands that are much rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Avraham.
Avraham is a fairly recent phenomenon. In the past, the name wasn't really on the radar of expectant parents. Then, unexpectedly, Avraham cried out for attention, reaching its peak in popularity at #991 in our SmartGenius statistics in the year 2020. People over 50 probably didn't have classmates named Avraham, for there were many years in which not a single parent chose this first name for their son. Although it also has never been in the top 100 of most popular first names, Avraham seems to have been in vogue for a while, especially since the beginning of the new millennium.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Avraham was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
184 babies were named Avraham in 2022 - that's 1 in 877,315 newborn boys. With this number, the boys' name Avraham ranked 1,051 in our SmartGenius first name statistics in 2022, the most recent year for which records are available.
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 seven letters, the name Avraham has a typical length for first names in the US. In fact, 26% of all common first names consist of exactly seven letters. 52% of all first names are shorter, while 22% have eight 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 Avraham 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...
