Esli is a female first name. In some cases it's also given to boys.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Esli in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Esli in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Esli by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Esli ranks at #8,509. That means there are 8,508 more common girls 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 Esli.
In fact, the name Esli 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), Esli seemed to be more popular than ever in 2000. Although the name never ranked higher than #3,641, 31 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Esli, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Esli was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the yet rare name Esli a few times. Among all newborn girls it ranked #6,090 - with a total of 16 baby girls. 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 girls with this first name a sheen of something particularly contemporary and special.
If you ever wanted to meet a girl or a woman named Esli, you have limited options – because girls with this beautiful name are currently living in California and Texas. However, we must admit that a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if tehre are at least five people with that name living there – so it’s quite possible that there are still a few women and girls called Esli living in one state or another (if your name is Esli and you live outside of California and Texas, 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 186,411 girls and women would turn around if you called out the name Esli. So, if your name is Esli it is very likely that you won’t need a nickname in your peer group, because having the name Esli already makes you 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 girls' names: 3.9% of all common girls' names in the US begin with this letter. The most common first letters of girls' names, by the way, are A, S and M, while U, X and Q are the least common initials of girls' names.
With four letters, the name Esli is shorter than most other given names. In fact, only 5.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly four letters. Just 1.2% of all first names are even shorter, while 93% consist of more than four 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 3.9%, E as the first letter in girls' names is almost as common as all 26 letters on average - and of all the girls' names that start with an E, Elizabeth is the most common.
If your name is Esli 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...
So that everyone really understands you when you have to spell the name Esli, you can simply say:
