Charmain is a female first name.
Recently, the name Charmain 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 girl in 100,000 has been named Charmain. That means that a girl named Charmain is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name her 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 Charmain.
Do you know the feeling when you go to the zoo and the animal that is supposed to be in the enclosure is not there? You know it should to be there, but you've never seen it? It's the same with Charmain. Girls named Charmain have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it many years ago: Reaching pos. 1,652 Charmain ranked higher than ever in 1967. By comparison, there have been 89 years in which the first name Charmain has not been given at all (or less than 5 times, which is the minimum number required for a name to be included in the statistics), most recently in 2022. In general, parents name their daughters Charmain only once in a blue moon, so girls and women with this name can consider themselves really special!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Charmain was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
It is not so easy to find a woman or girl named Charmain in the USA. Although the name is not sooooo rare overall, it is only at home in a few selected regions of the USA. In the entire United States there are currently a total of 71 women and girls named Charmain, but there are vast areas of the country where not a single person with this name can be found. In fact, the 71 women and girls named Charmain live in no more than 6 different states, including for example California, Florida, Illinois, Michigan and New York. In all other 43 states, there are no – or, to be precise, less than a handful – women called Charmain. (To explain: The official statistics provide the data per state only if at least five women with a specific name live in the same state. So, it’s quite possible that there are one or two states where someone with the name Charmain lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Charmain and you live outside the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics.). The state with the most girls and women named Charmain relative to its female population is California. And even there, only one in 573,574 women and girls would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Charmain.
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 girls' names. This is because 6.0% of all common girls’ names in the US begin with this letter. The most common first letters of girls' names, by the way, are A, S and M.
With eight letters, the name Charmain 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.
That means that with 6.0% of all girls' names that begin with a C, this first letter is much more common than the average of all letters. And which girls’ name beginning with C do you think is the most common in the US? The answer is... Carol.
If your name is Charmain 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...
