Benzion is a first name for boys.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Benzion is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 2 out of 100,000 boys have been named Benzion. In the SmartGenius ranking, Benzion is #3,362 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 Benzion.
In fact, the name Benzion hardly fits the trend of first names for boys. Between 1976 and 1999, young parents changed that a bit. For many years, Benzion wasn't given at all (or at least less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), but by 1985, the name was more popular than ever. Although the name never ranked higher than position 1,878, 26 parents chose it in 1985 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Benzion, you were already special when you were born - and you did your best to become a trendsetter.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Benzion was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the rare name Benzion a few times. Among all newborn boys, it ranked 3,639, for a total of 25 babies. The name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it didn't appear at all for a many years. As Benzion seems to be a bit more popular in the middle of the 20th century, it proves to remain a great rarity in 2022.
If you ever wanted to meet a boy or man named Benzion, 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 Benzion living in one state or another. (If your name is Benzion 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 15,800 boys and men would turn around if you called out the name Benzion. So if your name is Benzion, it’s very likely that you won’t need a nickname in your peer group, because having the name Benzion already makes you quite special.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter B is neither particularly common nor particularly rare as a first letter for boys' names: 4.2% of all common boys' names in the US begin with this letter. The most common first letters of boys' names are J and A, while X and U are the least common initials of boys' names.
With seven letters, the name Benzion 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.
Thus, it follows that if 4.2% of all boys' names start with a B, this initial letter occurs about as often as all 26 letters on average. And maybe interesting to know: Brian is the boys’ name starting with B, which is the most common of all.
If your name is Benzion 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...
