Demetrick is a male first name.
Recently, the name Demetrick 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 Demetrick. That means that a boy named Demetrick 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 Demetrick.
Do you know the feeling when you go to the zoo and the animal that is supposed to be in the enclosure is not there? You know it should be there, but you've never seen it? It's the same with Demetrick. Boys named Demetrick have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it a few years ago: At No. 1,498 Demetrick ranked higher than ever before in 1978. By comparison, there have been 93 years in which the first name Demetrick has not been given at all (or less than 5 times, which is the minimum number required for a name to be included in the statistics), most recently in 2022. In general, parents name their sons Demetrick only once in a blue moon, so boys and men with this name can consider themselves exceptional!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Demetrick 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 Demetrick. This first name might not be completely unknown, but in the entire United States, there are about 59 Americans who bear this name. And these 59 men and boys named Demetrick live in no more than 6 different states, including for example California, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi and South Carolina. In the other 43 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 Demetrick lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Demetrick 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 Demetrick relative to its male population is Louisiana. And even there, only one male in 196,068 would raise his hand if you asked, who is called Demetrick.
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 nine letters, the name Demetrick is relatively long compared to other names. In fact, 5.6% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly nine letters. 92% of all first names are shorter, while not even 2.5% of all boys’ and girls’ names use ten or more letters. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long with 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 Demetrick 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...
