Cedar is a unisex first name. It is given slightly more often to boys than to girls.
Few children have been named Cedar in recent years. Although it is used several times each year, only approximately 5 out of 100,000 children are currently called Cedar. Whether you’re a boy or a girl, you will most likely be the only person with the special name Cedar at your school. In our SmartGenius ranking, Cedar is number *** on the list of most common first names.
In fact, the name Cedar 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), Cedar seemed to be more popular than ever in 2022. Although the name never ranked higher than #1,844, 267 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Cedar, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Cedar was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
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 first names. This is because 5.7% of all common given names in the US begin with this letter. The most common first letters of given names, by the way, are A, J and K.
With five letters, the name Cedar is comparatively short. In fact, 17.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly five letters. Only 7% of all first names are even shorter, while 75% have more than five 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.
With 5.7% of all first names that begin with a C, this first letter is thus much more common than the average of all letters.
If your name is Cedar 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...
