Immanuel is a first name for boys.
The name Immanuel isn’t among the current fashionable names in our top 10 stats, but nonetheless, it’s still very popular and common. In our SmartGenius ranking of all boys names, Immanuel ranks 953. Recently, out of every 10,000 newborn boys, approximately 1 were named Immanuel. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Immanuel.
Immanuel is a fairly recent phenomenon. In the past, the name wasn't really on the radar of expectant parents. Then, unexpectedly, Immanuel cried out for attention, reaching its peak in popularity at #835 in our SmartGenius statistics in the year 2001. People over 50 probably didn't have classmates named Immanuel, 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, Immanuel 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 Immanuel was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
155 babies were named Immanuel in 2022 - that's 1 in 1,041,458 newborn boys. With this number, the boys' name Immanuel ranked 1,149 in our SmartGenius first name statistics in 2022, the most recent year for which records are available.
You may not know anyone named Immanuel, but there’s a good chance you live in the same state as someone with that name. In fact, 31 states are home to men and boys named Immanuel. (To be fair, 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 entirely possible that there are still a few men and boys named Immanuel living in one state or another. If your name is Immanuel and you live outside of the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can refine our statistics even further). And while the first name is present in many states, it is still not one of the popular ones. In Florida, which has the most people named Immanuel relative to the population, you still have to ask 15,488 men and boys their names before you hear Immanuel as an answer just once.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter I is quite rare as a first letter for boys' names: only 1.5% of all common boys' names in the US begin with an I. The most common first letters of boys' names, by the way, are J, A and D, while X, U and Q are the least common initials of boys' names.
With eight letters, the name Immanuel is long compared to other names. In fact, 14.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly eight letters. 78% of all first names are shorter, while only 8% of all boys’ and girls’ names use nine letters or even more. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long with no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.
That means that if 1.5% of all boys' names begin with an I, this initial letter is significantly less common than the other letters on average. Nevertheless, there are boys' names with I that are quite popular, the most common at present is Isaac.
If your name is Immanuel 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...
