Azai is a male first name. In very rare cases it is also used for girls.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Azai is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 4 out of 100,000 boys have been named Azai. In the SmartGenius ranking, Azai is #1,771 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 Azai.
The odds of having a man or boy named Azai in your home state are about the same as the chance for a white Christmas in New York City – in both cases they are less than 30%. More precisely, the first name Azai is registered in 15 states, among which are California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois or Maryland. In proportion to the male population, most men and boys with the first name Azai live in Florida, but even there the name is rather special – on average, you would have to ask 72,010 men and boys in Florida for their name before you meet one who answers with Azai.
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 Azai 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 Azai 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...
