Carmello is a first name typically given to boys, but in rare cases also used as a girls name.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Carmello 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 Carmello. In the SmartGenius ranking, Carmello is #1,821 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 Carmello.
In fact, the name Carmello did not fit the trend of the last century. Young parents in the 2000s began to change that a bit. After several years of not being given at all (or less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), Carmello seemed to be more popular than ever in 2011. Although the name never ranked higher than #1,113, 147 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Carmello, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Carmello was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the yet rare name Carmello a few times. Among all newborn boys it ranked #2,293 - with a total of 52 baby boys. This means, as you can see above, that the name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it supposedly didn't appear at all for many years - giving boys with this first name a sheen of something particularly contemporary and special.
The odds of having a man or boy named Carmello 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 Carmello is registered in 17 states, among which are California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois or Indiana. In proportion to the male population, most men and boys with the first name Carmello live in Florida, but even there the name is rather special – on average, you would have to ask 60,269 men and boys in Florida for their name before you meet one who answers with Carmello.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter C is a frequent initial letter for boys’ names. This is because 5.2% of all common boys’ names in the US begin with this letter. The most common first letters of boys' names, by the way, are J, A and D.
With eight letters, the name Carmello is long compared to other names. In fact, 14.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly eight letters. 78% of all first names are shorter, while only 8% of all boys’ and girls’ names use nine letters or even more. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long with no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.
With 5.2% of all boys' names that begin with a C, this first letter is thus much more common than the average of all letters. And which boys’ name beginning with C do you think is the most common in the US? The answer is... Charles.
If your name is Carmello 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...
