Izel is a female first name. In some cases it's also given to boys.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Izel is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 4 out of 100,000 girls have been named Izel. In the SmartGenius ranking, Izel is #2,319 on the list of most common girls names. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Izel.
In fact, the name Izel 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), Izel seemed to be more popular than ever in 2011. Although the name never ranked higher than #1,552, 127 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Izel, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Izel was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the yet rare name Izel a few times. Among all newborn girls it ranked #1,906 - with a total of 90 baby girls. 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 girls with this first name a sheen of something particularly contemporary and special.
It is not so easy to find a woman or girl named Izel 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 888 women and girls named Izel, but there are vast areas of the country where not a single person with this name can be found. In fact, the 888 women and girls named Izel live in no more than 7 different states, including for example Arizona, California, Illinois, New York and North Carolina. In all other 42 states, there are no – or, to be precise, less than a handful – women called Izel. (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 Izel lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Izel 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 Izel relative to its female population is California. And even there, only one in 27,263 women and girls would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Izel.
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 four letters, the name Izel is shorter than most other given names. In fact, only 5.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly four letters. Just 1.2% of all first names are even shorter, while 93% consist of more than four 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 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
If your name is Izel 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...
So that everyone really understands you when you have to spell the name Izel, you can simply say:
