Ean -
keeping with the times

Ean is a fairly recent phenomenon. In the past, the name wasn't really on the radar of expectant parents. Then, unexpectedly, Ean cried out for attention, reaching its peak in popularity at #717 in our SmartGenius statistics in the year 2007. People over 50 probably didn't have classmates named Ean, for there were many years in which not a single parent chose this first name for their son. Although it also has never been in the top 100 of most popular first names, Ean seems to have been in vogue for a while, especially since the beginning of the new millennium.

In years where the graph has no value, the name Ean was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

Ean -
special, but at home in many states

You may not know anyone named Ean, but there’s a good chance you live in the same state as someone with that name. In fact, 33 states are home to men and boys named Ean. (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 Ean living in one state or another. If your name is Ean 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 Florida, which has the most people named Ean relative to the population, you still have to ask 21,163 men and boys their names before you hear Ean as an answer just once.

Ean has 3 letters 
and begins with an E

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 only three letters, the name Ean is obviously very short. In fact, only 1.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly three letters. Just 0.2% of all first names are even shorter and only have two letters, while nearly 99% of all boys’ and girls’ names use more than three 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.

Other names with 
E, a and n

If you take all the letters in the name Ean – E, a and n – and put them together again, you can form other names, such as Ane or others.
