The first name 
Izekiel

Izekiel is a male first name.

Izekiel – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a boy named Izekiel in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Izekiel in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Izekiel by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Izekiel ranks at #4,838. That means there are 4,837 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 Izekiel.

Izekiel -
at home in California and Texas

If you ever wanted to meet a boy or man named Izekiel, you have limited options – because boys with this beautiful name are currently only living in California or Texas. 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 Izekiel living in one state or another. (If your name is Izekiel and you live outside of California and Texas, 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 812,379 boys and men would turn around if you called out the name Izekiel. So if your name is Izekiel, it’s very likely that you won’t need a nickname in your peer group, because having the name Izekiel already makes you quite special.

Izekiel has 7 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 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 seven letters, the name Izekiel has a typical length for first names in the US. In fact, 26% of all common first names consist of exactly seven letters. 52% of all first names are shorter, while 22% have eight 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 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.
