The first name 
Enlil

Enlil is a male first name.

Enlil – a very rare name!

Recently, the name Enlil 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 Enlil. That means that a boy named Enlil is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name his whole life.

You won't believe all there is 
to discover about the name
 
Enlil

Enlil has 5 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 five letters, the name Enlil 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.

Other names with 
E, n, l, i and l

If you take all the letters in the name Enlil – E, n, l, i and l – and put them together again, you can form other names, such as Ellin or others.
