The first name 
Diyan

Diyan is a first name for boys.

Diyan – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a boy named Diyan in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Diyan in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Diyan by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Diyan ranks at #5,242. That means there are 5,241 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 Diyan.

Diyan -
at home in

Diyan 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 Diyan 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.
