Feliciano is a first name for boys.
There’s a good chance that a boy named Feliciano in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Feliciano in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Feliciano by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Feliciano ranks at #5,131. That means there are 5,130 more common boys 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 Feliciano.
While Feliciano is not one of the most popular names of all time, it seems to have attracted parents especially more than 50 years ago in the last century. In 1945, the name Feliciano reached its highest popularity with #1,117 in our ranking of all male first names. As it is so exquisite, mothers and fathers did not always come up with the idea of naming their son Feliciano. Perhaps it was because the name was only occasionally in keeping with the spirit of the times - and boys in those decades were given the unusual and beautiful name of Feliciano.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Feliciano was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, 14 babies were born with the name Feliciano. This puts the name in rank 5,277 in the SmartGenius statistics - or in other words, one in 11,530,429 newborns was named Feliciano that year. Ever since first names have been registered, Feliciano has been and remains marvelously unusual!
The first name Feliciano is a true rarity among all men and boys currently living in the United States – only 1,231 Americans in total bear this name. And these 1,231 men are located in only three states: California, New York and Texas (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 Feliciano 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 Feliciano in relation to it’s male population is Texas. And yet even there, only one in 14,806 men would raise his hand if asked whether there was a Feliciano present.
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 nine letters, the name Feliciano is relatively long compared to other names. In fact, 5.6% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly nine letters. 92% of all first names are shorter, while not even 2.5% of all boys’ and girls’ names use ten or more letters. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long with 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.
If your name is Feliciano 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...
