Galyn is a unisex first name. It is given slightly more often to girls than to boys.
At least in the US, the name Galyn is extremely rare. Recently, only a handful of babies has been named Galyn each year. That means it’s extremely unlikely that a boy or girl called Galyn will meet someone with the same name. So, Galyn is a very special name!
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter G is not particularly common as a first letter for given names: only 2.4% of all common first names in the US begin with a G. The most common initial letters for first names are A and J, while U and X are the least common first letters of given names.
With five letters, the name Galyn 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.
This means that if 2.4% of all first names begin with a G, this initial letter is less common than the other letters on average.
If your name is Galyn 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...
