Eathan is a male first name.
There’s a good chance that a boy named Eathan in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Eathan in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Eathan by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Eathan ranks at #4,486. That means there are 4,485 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 Eathan.
In fact, the name Eathan 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), Eathan seemed to be more popular than ever in 2003. Although the name never ranked higher than #1,587, 71 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Eathan, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Eathan was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the yet rare name Eathan a few times. Among all newborn boys it ranked #10,408 - with a total of 5 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.
The odds of having a man or boy named Eathan in your home state are about the same as the chance for a white Christmas in New York City – in both cases they are less than 30%. More precisely, the first name Eathan is registered in 14 states, among which are Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia or Illinois. In proportion to the male population, most men and boys with the first name Eathan live in Texas, but even there the name is rather special – on average, you would have to ask 248,687 men and boys in Texas for their name before you meet one who answers with Eathan.
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 six letters, the name Eathan 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.
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 Eathan 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...
