The first name 
Cayetano

Cayetano is a first name for boys.

Cayetano – a very rare name!

Recently, the name Cayetano has been given only a handful of times a year and is therefore particularly rare, at least in the US. In recent years, not even one boy in 100,000 has been named Cayetano. That means that a boy named Cayetano is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name his whole life. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Cayetano.

Cayetano -
swimming against the tide

If your name is Cayetano your parents may be very proud to let their son swim against the tide: The name Cayetano has never ranked higher than position 1,027 in our statistics and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea to choose the name Cayetano for their son. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1906 to give the name more often than usual – only compared to the rest of the time, of course. You probably still won't find many children named Cayetano because that was several decades ago – unless, of course, you have some very creative parents in your neighborhood.

In years where the graph has no value, the name Cayetano was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

2022 - Looking for Cayetano?

As in the last century, Cayetano is still an exception. Even in 2022, the name was given very rarely - in fact, only 8 times in the entire USA. So a Cayetano of 2022 will need very good binoculars to spot the next namesake of the same age.

Cayetano -
at home in

If you ever wanted to meet a boy or man named Cayetano, 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 Cayetano living in one state or another. (If your name is Cayetano 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 66,954 boys and men would turn around if you called out the name Cayetano. So if your name is Cayetano, it’s very likely that you won’t need a nickname in your peer group, because having the name Cayetano already makes you quite special.

Cayetano has 8 letters 
and begins with a C

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 Cayetano 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.
