Destan is a first name for boys.
There’s a good chance that a boy named Destan in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Destan in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Destan by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Destan ranks at #6,769. That means there are 6,768 more common boys names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. Of all Americans currently living, not even one in 100,000 would answer if you shouted out the name Destan.
If you’re looking for someone named Destan, you might want to head to California. Why California of all places? Well, simply because, according to official statistics, there are no men or boys named Destan 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 Destan living in one state or another. But, in any case the name is extremely rare. (If your name happens to be Destan and you live outside of California, 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 California, the name Destan is not really that common – there are only 5 men and boys with this name living there right now, which is not more than 0.00003% of all male residents of California – so if you are one of them, you can rightly say that you are someone very special!
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 six letters, the name Destan is of average length. In fact, 28% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly six letters. 24% of all first names are shorter, while 48% have seven letters or more. 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 Destan 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...
