The first name 
Estefan

Estefan is a first name for boys.

Estefan – a very rare name!

Recently, the name Estefan 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 Estefan. That means that a boy named Estefan 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 Estefan.

Estefan -
at home in California and Texas

If you ever wanted to meet a boy or man named Estefan, you have limited options – because boys with this beautiful name are currently only living in California or Texas. 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 Estefan living in one state or another. (If your name is Estefan 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 641,352 boys and men would turn around if you called out the name Estefan. So if your name is Estefan, it’s very likely that you won’t need a nickname in your peer group, because having the name Estefan already makes you quite special.

Estefan has 7 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 seven letters, the name Estefan has a typical length for first names in the US. In fact, 26% of all common first names consist of exactly seven letters. 52% of all first names are shorter, while 22% have eight 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.

Other names with 
E, s, t, e, f, a and n

If you take all the letters in the name Estefan – E, s, t, e, f, a and n – and put them together again, you can form another name, such as Stefane.
