Deen is a first name typically given to boys, but in rare cases also used as a girls name.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Deen is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 3 out of 100,000 boys have been named Deen. In the SmartGenius ranking, Deen is #2,407 on the list of most common boys names. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Deen.
In fact, the name Deen did not fit the trend of the last century. Young parents in the 2000s began to change that a bit. After several years of not being given at all (or less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), Deen seemed to be more popular than ever in 2022. Although the name never ranked higher than #1,863, 72 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Deen, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Deen was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In not even one in five states you will find more than 4 men and boys with the name Deen. This first name might not be completely unknown, but in the entire United States, there are about 269 Americans who bear this name. And these 269 men and boys named Deen live in no more than 7 different states, including for example California, Illinois, Michigan, New Jersey and New York. In the other 42 states, there are either none or less than a handful boys and men with this name (to explain: The official statistics provide the data per state only if at least five men 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 Deen lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Deen 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 boys and men named Deen relative to its male population is New York. And even there, only one male in 148,443 would raise his hand if you asked, who is called Deen.
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 four letters, the name Deen is shorter than most other given names. In fact, only 5.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly four letters. Just 1.2% of all first names are even shorter, while 93% consist of more than four 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 Deen 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...
