Einar is a male first name.
There’s a good chance that a boy named Einar in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Einar in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Einar by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Einar ranks at #5,264. That means there are 5,263 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 Einar.
In not even one in five states you will find more than 4 men and boys with the name Einar. This first name might not be completely unknown, but in the entire United States, there are about 214 Americans who bear this name. And these 214 men and boys named Einar live in no more than 8 different states, including for example California, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota and New York. In the other 41 states, there are either none or less than a handful boys and men with this name (to explain: The official statistics provide the data per state only if at least five men with a specific name live in the same state. So, it’s quite possible that there are one or two states where someone with the name Einar lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Einar and you live outside the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics). The state with the most boys and men named Einar relative to its male population is North Dakota. And even there, only one male in 13,893 would raise his hand if you asked, who is called Einar.
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 Einar 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 Einar 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...
