The first name 
Fairley

Fairley is a male first name.

Fairley – a very rare name!

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

Fairley -
at home only in a few regions of the USA

The first name Fairley is a true rarity among all men and boys currently living in the United States – only 31 Americans in total bear this name. And these 31 men are located in only four states: Kentucky, North Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia (it should be noted that the official statistics provide the data per state only if there are at least 5 men with this name in the state. So, if your name is Fairley and you live outside the states marked on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics). The state with the most boys and men named Fairley in relation to it’s male population is Kentucky. And yet even there, only one in 281,788 men would raise his hand if asked whether there was a Fairley present.

Fairley has 7 letters 
and begins with an F

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter F is quite rare as a first letter for boys' names: only 1.5% of all common boys' names in the US begin with an F. By the way, the most common first letters of boys' names are J, A and D, while X, U and Q are the least common initials of boys' names.

With seven letters, the name Fairley 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.

Therefore: As 1.5% of all boys' names begin with an F, this initial letter is significantly less common than the other letters on average. However, individual boys' names with F are really popular, the most common currently being Frank.
