Jarod 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 Jarod 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 Jarod. In the SmartGenius ranking, Jarod is #3,273 on the list of most common boys names. In the entire USA, approximately 9,300 people – children, adults and seniors – currently bear the name Jarod. That is 0.00 % of all living Americans.
Jarod 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 Jarod - until this very name unexpectedly cried out for attention and peaked in popularity at rank number 265 in 1998. Although it has never reached the top 100 list, this boys' name seems to have been in vogue for a while, which makes Jarod really in tune with his generation.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Jarod was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
12 babies were named Jarod in 2022 - that's 1 in 13,452,167 newborn boys. With this number, the boys' name Jarod ranked 5,849 in our SmartGenius first name statistics in 2022, the most recent year for which records are available.
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 Jarod 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 Jarod 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...
