The first name 
Jamiel

Jamiel is a first name typically given to boys, but in rare cases also used as a girls name.

Jamiel – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a boy named Jamiel in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Jamiel in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Jamiel by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Jamiel ranks at #6,472. That means there are 6,471 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 Jamiel.

Jamiel -
special from day one

In fact, the name Jamiel hardly fits the trend of first names for boys. Between 1976 and 1999, young parents changed that a bit. For many years, Jamiel wasn't given at all (or at least less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), but by 1981, the name was more popular than ever. Although the name never ranked higher than position 1,491, 35 parents chose it in 1981 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Jamiel, you were already special when you were born - and you did your best to become a trendsetter.

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

Jamiel - originality welcome!

In 2022, expectant parents chose the rare name Jamiel a few times. Among all newborn boys, it ranked 8,311, for a total of 7 babies. The name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it didn't appear at all for a many years. As Jamiel seems to be a bit more popular in the middle of the 20th century, it proves to remain a great rarity in 2022.

Jamiel 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 Jamiel 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 if 10.1% of all boys’ names start with a J, this initial letter occurs nearly three times as often as all other letters on average. And, by the way, of all the boys’ names that begin with the letter J, the name James is the most common.
