Jamin is a male first name. In very rare cases it is also used for girls.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Jamin is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 2 out of 100,000 boys have been named Jamin. In the SmartGenius ranking, Jamin is #2,601 on the list of most common boys names. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Jamin.
Jamin is a phenomenon of Generation X and Y. Previously, the name wasn't really on the radar of expectant parents. Schoolkids of the early 20th century probably didn't have classmates named Jamin - until this very name unexpectedly cried out for attention and peaked in popularity at rank number 669 in 1979. Although it has never reached the top 100 list, this boys' name seems to have been in vogue for a while, which makes Jamin really in tune with his generation.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Jamin was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
43 babies were named Jamin in 2022 - that's 1 in 3,754,093 newborn boys. With this number, the boys' name Jamin ranked 2,567 in our SmartGenius first name statistics in 2022, the most recent year for which records are available.
The odds that a man or boy named Jamin 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 Jamin in 22 states – which is obviously nearly every second of all 50 states in the USA, for example in Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida or Georgia. In relation to the number of residents, the most men and boys with the first name Jamin live in Indiana – here, one in 40,917 bears this name. In comparison, if we look at all living men and boys in the whole country, only one in 170,504 will turn around if you call his first name Jamin.
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 five letters, the name Jamin 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 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.
If your name is Jamin 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...
