Demetrios is a first name for boys.
There’s a good chance that a boy named Demetrios in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Demetrios in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Demetrios by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Demetrios ranks at #3,953. That means there are 3,952 more common boys names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Demetrios.
In not even one in five states you will find more than 4 men and boys with the name Demetrios. This first name might not be completely unknown, but in the entire United States, there are about 1,095 Americans who bear this name. And these 1,095 men and boys named Demetrios live in no more than 9 different states, including for example California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois and Maryland. In the other 40 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 Demetrios lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Demetrios 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 Demetrios relative to its male population is New York. And even there, only one male in 21,456 would raise his hand if you asked, who is called Demetrios.
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 Demetrios 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 Demetrios 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...
