Isamar -
keeping with the times

Isamar is a phenomenon of Generation X and Y. Previously, the name wasn't really on the radar of expectant parents. Schoolkids of the early 20th century probably didn't have classmates named Isamar - until this very name unexpectedly cried out for attention and peaked in popularity at rank number 495 in 1990. Although it has never reached the top 100 list, this girls' name seems to have been in vogue for a while, which makes Isamar really in tune with her generation.

In years where the graph has no value, the name Isamar was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

Isamar -
at home only in a few regions of the USA

It is not so easy to find a woman or girl named Isamar in the USA. Although the name is not sooooo rare overall, it is only at home in a few selected regions of the USA. In the entire United States there are currently a total of 1,794 women and girls named Isamar, but there are vast areas of the country where not a single person with this name can be found. In fact, the 1,794 women and girls named Isamar live in no more than 9 different states, including for example Arizona, California, Connecticut, Florida and Illinois. In all other 40 states, there are no – or, to be precise, less than a handful – women called Isamar. (To explain: The official statistics provide the data per state only if at least five women with a specific name live in the same state. So, it’s quite possible that there are one or two states where someone with the name Isamar lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Isamar and you live outside the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics.). The state with the most girls and women named Isamar relative to its female population is California. And even there, only one in 19,119 women and girls would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Isamar.

Isamar has 6 letters 
and begins with an I

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter I is pretty rare as an initial letter for girls' names: only 1.7% of all common girls' names in the US begin with an I. The most common first letters of girls' names, by the way, are A, S and M, while U, X and Q are the least common initials of girls' names.

With six letters, the name Isamar 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.

That means that since 1.7% of all girls’ names begin with an I, this initial occurs only about half as often as the other letters on average. Nevertheless, there are of course single names that begin with an I, which are quite popular

Other names with 
I, s, a, m, a and r

If you take all the letters in the name Isamar – I, s, a, m, a and r – and put them together again, you can form other names, such as Armias or others.
