Izaac is a first name for boys.
Izaac 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 1527 in the SmartGenius statistics. This means there are 1,526 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 Izaac.
In fact, the name Izaac did not fit the trend of the last century. Young parents in the 2000s began to change that a bit. After several years of not being given at all (or less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), Izaac seemed to be more popular than ever in 2009. Although the name never ranked higher than #1,112, 151 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Izaac, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Izaac was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the yet rare name Izaac a few times. Among all newborn boys it ranked #2,019 - with a total of 63 baby boys. This means, as you can see above, that the name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it supposedly didn't appear at all for many years - giving boys with this first name a sheen of something particularly contemporary and special.
The odds that a man or boy named Izaac lives in your home state are about the same as betting on heads or tails in a coin toss. This boy’s name is quite popular, but not equally so throughout the entire USA. You can meet boys and men with the name Izaac in 20 states – which is obviously nearly every second of all 50 states in the USA, for example in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida or Georgia. In relation to the number of residents, the most men and boys with the first name Izaac live in Arizona – here, one in 24,701 bears this name. In comparison, if we look at all living men and boys in the whole country, only one in 124,943 will turn around if you call his first name Izaac.
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 five letters, the name Izaac 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.
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 Izaac 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...
