The first name 
Harish

Harish is a male first name.

Harish – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a boy named Harish in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Harish in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Harish by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Harish ranks at #7,160. That means there are 7,159 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 Harish.

Harish -
at home in California and New Jersey

If you ever wanted to meet a boy or man named Harish, you have limited options – because boys with this beautiful name are currently only living in California or New Jersey. 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 Harish living in one state or another. (If your name is Harish and you live outside of California and New Jersey, 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 460,457 boys and men would turn around if you called out the name Harish. So if your name is Harish, it’s very likely that you won’t need a nickname in your peer group, because having the name Harish already makes you quite special.

Harish has 6 letters 
and begins with an H

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 six letters, the name Harish is of average length. In fact, 28% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly six letters. 24% of all first names are shorter, while 48% have seven letters or more. 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.

Other names with 
H, a, r, i, s and h

If you take all the letters in the name Harish – H, a, r, i, s and h – and put them together again, you can form other names, such as Harshi or others.
