Eamon is a male first name.
Eamon is a well-known name in the US, but is still special. It is currently only given to every ten thousandth boy, and therefore ranks at 1180 in the SmartGenius statistics. This means there are 1,179 boys names that are more common, but also tens of thousands that are much rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Eamon.
In fact, the name Eamon did not fit the trend of the last century. Young parents in the 2000s began to change that a bit. After several years of not being given at all (or less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), Eamon seemed to be more popular than ever in 2017. Although the name never ranked higher than #1,008, 182 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Eamon, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Eamon was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the yet rare name Eamon a few times. Among all newborn boys it ranked #1,523 - with a total of 102 baby boys. This means, as you can see above, that the name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it supposedly didn't appear at all for many years - giving boys with this first name a sheen of something particularly contemporary and special.
You may not know anyone named Eamon, but there’s a good chance you live in the same state as someone with that name. In fact, 26 states are home to men and boys named Eamon. (To be fair, a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it’s entirely possible that there are still a few men and boys named Eamon living in one state or another. If your name is Eamon and you live outside of the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can refine our statistics even further). And while the first name is present in many states, it is still not one of the popular ones. In Massachusetts, which has the most people named Eamon relative to the population, you still have to ask 14,142 men and boys their names before you hear Eamon as an answer just once.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter E is neither particularly common nor particularly rare as a first letter for boys' names: 3.8% of all common boys' names in the US begin with this letter. The most common first letters of boys' names, by the way, are J, A and D, while X, U and Q are the least common initials of boys' names.
With five letters, the name Eamon 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.
That means that with 3.8%, E as the first letter in boys' names is almost as common as all 26 letters on average - and of all the boys' names that start with an E, Edward is the most common.
If your name is Eamon 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...
