Jakari -
keeping with the times

Jakari is a fairly recent phenomenon. In the past, the name wasn't really on the radar of expectant parents. Then, unexpectedly, Jakari cried out for attention, reaching its peak in popularity at #648 in our SmartGenius statistics in the year 2022. People over 50 probably didn't have classmates named Jakari, 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, Jakari 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 Jakari was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

special, but at home in many states

You may not know anyone named Jakari, but there’s a good chance you live in the same state as someone with that name. In fact, 26 states are home to men and boys named Jakari. (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 Jakari living in one state or another. If your name is Jakari 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.

Jakari has 6 letters 
and begins with a J

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter J is the most popular first letter for boys’ names. 10.1% of all common boys’ names in the US start with this letter. The second most common first letter in boys’ names is A.

With six letters, the name Jakari is of average length.
