Habib is a first name for boys.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Habib is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 2 out of 100,000 boys have been named Habib. In the SmartGenius ranking, Habib is #3,537 on the list of most common boys names. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Habib.
In fact, the name Habib hardly fits the trend of first names for boys. Between 1976 and 1999, young parents changed that a bit. For many years, Habib wasn't given at all (or at least less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), but by 1982, the name was more popular than ever. Although the name never ranked higher than position 2,368, 17 parents chose it in 1982 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Habib, you were already special when you were born - and you did your best to become a trendsetter.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Habib was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the rare name Habib a few times. Among all newborn boys, it ranked 2,936, for a total of 35 babies. The name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it didn't appear at all for a many years. As Habib seems to be a bit more popular in the middle of the 20th century, it proves to remain a great rarity in 2022.
The first name Habib is a true rarity among all men and boys currently living in the United States – only 126 Americans in total bear this name. And these 126 men are located in only five states: California, Georgia, Illinois, Michigan and New York (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 Habib 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 Habib in relation to it’s male population is New York. And yet even there, only one in 199,470 men would raise his hand if asked whether there was a Habib present.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter H is not particularly common as a first letter for boys' names: only 2.9% of all common boys' names in the US begin with an H. The most common first letters for boys' names are J and A, while X and U are the least common first letters of boys' names.
With five letters, the name Habib 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 2.9% of all boys' names begin with an H, this initial letter is less common than the other letters on average. Nevertheless, there are of course some names that begin with H and are extremely popular, for example Henry, currently the most common boys’ name with H.
If your name is Habib 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...
