The first name 
Deloy

Deloy is a male first name.

Deloy – a very rare name!

Recently, the name Deloy has been given only a handful of times a year and is therefore particularly rare, at least in the US. In recent years, not even one boy in 100,000 has been named Deloy. That means that a boy named Deloy is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name his whole life. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Deloy.

Deloy -
something very, very special - even in his home state Utah!

If you’re looking for someone named Deloy, you might want to head to Utah. Why Utah of all places? Well, simply because, according to official statistics, there are no men or boys named Deloy living in any other state. However, we have to admit that a first name is only listed in the official statistics of a state if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it may well be that there are still a few men and boys named Deloy living in one state or another. But, in any case the name is extremely rare. (If your name happens to be Deloy and you live outside of Utah, we would be very grateful if you could let us know so that we can refine our statistics even further). By the way, even in Utah, the name Deloy is not really that common – there are only 81 men and boys with this name living there right now, which is not more than 0.00602% of all male residents of Utah – so if you are one of them, you can rightly say that you are someone very special!

Deloy 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 Deloy 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 
D, e, l, o and y

If you take all the letters in the name Deloy – D, e, l, o and y – and put them together again, you can form other names, such as Doyel or others.
