Delane is a first name for all genders. The name is given about equally often as boys and girls name.
At least in the US, the name Delane is extremely rare. Recently, only a handful of babies has been named Delane each year. That means it’s extremely unlikely that a boy or girl called Delane will meet someone with the same name. So, Delane is a very special name!
If your name is Delane your parents may be very proud to let their child swim against the tide: The name Delane never ranked higher than position 2,253 in our statistics, and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea of naming their offspring Delane. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1949 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 Delane 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 Delane was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
As in the last century, Delane still proves to be very exceptional. In 2022, for example, it was not given once in the entire U.S. - or, to be more precise, it was given at most four times, because names given less than five times in one year are not included in the official statistics. So if you know someone named Delane who was born in 2022, please let us know - we would be very interested in hearing about it so that we can provide you with even more accurate statistics.
