Firas is a first name for boys.
There’s a good chance that a boy named Firas in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Firas in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Firas by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Firas ranks at #5,330. That means there are 5,329 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 Firas.
Do you know the feeling when you go to the zoo and the animal that is supposed to be in the enclosure is not there? You know it should be there, but you've never seen it? It's the same with Firas. Boys named Firas have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it a few years ago: At No. 2,824 Firas ranked higher than ever before in 1984. By comparison, there have been 103 years in which the first name Firas has not been given at all (or less than 5 times, which is the minimum number required for a name to be included in the statistics), most recently in 2019. In general, parents name their sons Firas only once in a blue moon, so boys and men with this name can consider themselves exceptional!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Firas was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, Firas continues to be a precious jewel: 6 newborns were named Firas that year, ranking #9,177 in the SmartGenius name statistics. If your baby's name is Firas, you must have a flair for beautiful and rare names: Congratulations, your child is sure to feel unique.
If you ever wanted to meet a boy or man named Firas, you have limited options – because boys with this beautiful name are currently only living in California or Michigan. 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 Firas living in one state or another. (If your name is Firas and you live outside of California and Michigan, 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 1,258,070 boys and men would turn around if you called out the name Firas. So if your name is Firas, it’s very likely that you won’t need a nickname in your peer group, because having the name Firas already makes you quite special.
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 five letters, the name Firas 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.
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 Firas 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...
