The first name 
Dawid

Dawid is a first name for boys.

Dawid – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a boy named Dawid in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Dawid in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Dawid by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Dawid ranks at #6,505. That means there are 6,504 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 Dawid.

Dawid -
at home only in a few regions of the USA

The first name Dawid is a true rarity among all men and boys currently living in the United States – only 191 Americans in total bear this name. And these 191 men are located in only three states: Illinois, New Jersey and New York (it should be noted that the official statistics provide the data per state only if there are at least 5 men with this name in the state. So, if your name is Dawid and you live outside the states marked on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics). The state with the most boys and men named Dawid in relation to it’s male population is Illinois. And yet even there, only one in 47,781 men would raise his hand if asked whether there was a Dawid present.

Dawid has 5 letters 
and begins with a D

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 Dawid 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.

Other names with
