Gian is a first name for boys.
Gian is a well-known name in the US, but is still special. It is currently only given to every ten thousandth boy, and therefore ranks at 1119 in the SmartGenius statistics. This means there are 1,118 boys names that are more common, but also tens of thousands that are much rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Gian.
Gian is a fairly recent phenomenon. In the past, the name wasn't really on the radar of expectant parents. Then, unexpectedly, Gian cried out for attention, reaching its peak in popularity at #856 in our SmartGenius statistics in the year 2022. People over 50 probably didn't have classmates named Gian, for there were many years in which not a single parent chose this first name for their son. Although it also has never been in the top 100 of most popular first names, Gian seems to have been in vogue for a while, especially since the beginning of the new millennium.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Gian was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter G is not really common as a first letter for boys' names: only 2.8% of all common boys' names in the US begin with G. 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 four letters, the name Gian is shorter than most other given names. In fact, only 5.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly four letters. Just 1.2% of all first names are even shorter, while 93% consist of more than four 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.
That means that with 2.8% of all boys' names beginning with a G, this initial letter is less common than the other letters on average. Nevertheless, there are boys' names with G that are quite popular, the most common at present is George.
If your name is Gian 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...
So that everyone really understands you when you have to spell the name Gian, you can simply say:
