Deane -
swimming against the tide

If your name is Deane your parents may be very proud to let their child swim against the tide: The name Deane never ranked higher than position 1,350 in our statistics, and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea of naming their offspring Deane. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1933 to choose the name more often than usual - only compared to the rest of the time, of course. You probably still won't find many children named Deane because that was several decades ago - unless, of course, you have some very creative parents in the neighborhood.

In years where the graph has no value, the name Deane was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

2022 - looking for Deane?

As in the last century, Deane still proves to be exceptional. Even in 2022, the name was given very rarely - in fact, only 5 times in the entire U.S. So, a Deane from 2022 will need very good binoculars to spot the next namesake of the same age.

That’s because 6.3% of all common given names in the US begin with this letter. By the way, the most common first letters for given names are A, J and K.
