Dalin is a male first name. In some cases it's also given to girls.
Recently, the name Dalin 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 Dalin. That means that a boy named Dalin is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name his whole life.
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 Dalin. Boys named Dalin have made themselves scarce. But some parents have recently gotten a taste for it: At No. 2,972 Dalin ranked higher than ever in 2000. By comparison, there have been 107 years in which the first name Dalin 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 2021. In general, parents name their sons Dalin only once in a blue moon, so boys and men with this name can consider themselves really special!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Dalin was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, Dalin continues to be a precious jewel: 5 newborns were named Dalin that year, ranking #10,408 in the SmartGenius name statistics. If your baby's name is Dalin, you must have a flair for beautiful and rare names: Congratulations, your child is sure to feel unique.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter D is a quite popular first letter for boys’ names. That’s because 8.5% of all common boys’ names in the US begin with this letter. Only the first letters J and A are more common for boys' names.
With five letters, the name Dalin 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.
Therefore: As 8.5% of all boys' names start with a D, this initial letter occurs nearly 2.5-times as often as all 26 letters on average – and the most common one of all the boys’ names starting with D is David.
If your name is Dalin 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...
