Ayin is a first name for all genders, most often used for boys.
At least in the US, the name Ayin is extremely rare. Recently, only a handful of babies has been named Ayin each year. That means it’s extremely unlikely that a boy or girl called Ayin will meet someone with the same name. So, Ayin is a very special name!
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter A is the most popular first letter for given names. 10.3% of all common first names in the US start with this letter. The second most common initial letter in first names is J.
With four letters, the name Ayin 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 10.3% of all first names start with an A, this initial letter occurs nearly three times as often as all other letters on average.
If your name is Ayin 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...
