The first name 
Azad

Azad is a first name for boys.

Azad – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a boy named Azad in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Azad in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Azad by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Azad ranks at #4,996. That means there are 4,995 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 Azad.

Azad -
at home in

If you ever wanted to meet a boy or man named Azad, 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 Azad living in one state or another. (If your name is Azad 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 604,877 boys and men would turn around if you called out the name Azad. So if your name is Azad, it’s very likely that you won’t need a nickname in your peer group, because having the name Azad already makes you quite special.

Azad has 4 letters 
and begins with an A

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 Azad 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.
