Dashon is a male first name. In very rare cases it is also used for girls.
There’s a good chance that a boy named Dashon in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Dashon in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Dashon by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Dashon ranks at #4,567. That means there are 4,566 more common boys names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Dashon.
In fact, the name Dashon hardly fits the trend of first names for boys. Between 1976 and 1999, young parents changed that a bit. For many years, Dashon wasn't given at all (or at least less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), but by 1993, the name was more popular than ever. Although the name never ranked higher than position 1,286, 69 parents chose it in 1993 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Dashon, you were already special when you were born - and you did your best to become a trendsetter.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Dashon was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the rare name Dashon a few times. Among all newborn boys, it ranked 10,408, for a total of 5 babies. The name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it didn't appear at all for a many years. As Dashon seems to be a bit more popular in the middle of the 20th century, it proves to remain a great rarity in 2022.
The odds of having a man or boy named Dashon 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 Dashon is registered in 11 states, among which are California, Georgia, Illinois, Missouri or New Jersey. In proportion to the male population, most men and boys with the first name Dashon live in New Jersey, but even there the name is rather special – on average, you would have to ask 33,126 men and boys in New Jersey for their name before you meet one who answers with Dashon.
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 six letters, the name Dashon is of average length. In fact, 28% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly six letters. 24% of all first names are shorter, while 48% have seven letters or more. 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 Dashon 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...
