Demon is a first name for boys.
Recently, the name Demon 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 Demon. That means that a boy named Demon 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 Demon.
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 to be there, but you've never seen it? It's the same with Demon. Boys named Demon have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it many years ago: Reaching pos. 1,296 Demon ranked higher than ever in 1974. By comparison, there have been 96 years in which the first name Demon 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 Demon only once in a blue moon, so boys and men with this name can consider themselves really special!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Demon 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 Demon. This first name might not be completely unknown, but in the entire United States, there are about 78 Americans who bear this name. And these 78 men and boys named Demon live in no more than 6 different states, including for example California, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana and Michigan. 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 Demon lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Demon 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 Demon relative to its male population is Louisiana. And even there, only one male in 154,790 would raise his hand if you asked, who is called Demon.
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 Demon 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.
If your name is Demon 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...
So that everyone really understands you when you have to spell the name Demon, you can simply say:
Dinosaur
Elephant
Mouse
Orange
Nut
