Emeka is a male first name. In very rare cases it is also used for girls.
Recently, the name Emeka has been given only a handful of times a year and is therefore particularly rare, at least in the US. In recent years, not even one boy in 100,000 has been named Emeka. That means that a boy named Emeka is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name his whole life. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Emeka.
Do you know the feeling when you go to the zoo and the animal that is supposed to be in the enclosure is not there? You know it should be there, but you've never seen it? It's the same with Emeka. Boys named Emeka have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it a few years ago: At No. 1,998 Emeka ranked higher than ever before in 1978. By comparison, there have been 96 years in which the first name Emeka has not been given at all (or less than 5 times, which is the minimum number required for a name to be included in the statistics), most recently in 2019. In general, parents name their sons Emeka only once in a blue moon, so boys and men with this name can consider themselves exceptional!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Emeka was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, Emeka continues to be a precious jewel: 8 newborns were named Emeka that year, ranking #7,630 in the SmartGenius name statistics. If your baby's name is Emeka, you must have a flair for beautiful and rare names: Congratulations, your child is sure to feel unique.
If you ever wanted to meet a boy or man named Emeka, you have limited options – because boys with this beautiful name are currently only living in . However, we must admit that 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 quite possible that there are still a few men and boys called Emeka living in one state or another. (If your name is Emeka and you live outside of , we’d really appreciate it if you’d let us know so we can refine our statistics even further.) Which means – if you put this number in relation to the population of the USA – only one in 3,266,336 boys and men would turn around if you called out the name Emeka. So if your name is Emeka, it’s very likely that you won’t need a nickname in your peer group, because having the name Emeka already makes you quite special.
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 Emeka 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 Emeka 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...
