Jasen is a male first name.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Jasen is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 3 out of 100,000 boys have been named Jasen. In the SmartGenius ranking, Jasen is #2,318 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 Jasen.
Jasen is a quite familiar phenomenon. Before 1900, the name wasn't really on the radar of expectant parents. It took a while, but then, unexpectedly, Jasen cried out for attention, reaching rank 525 in 1973. So, schoolkids of the late 19th century probably didn't have classmates named Jasen and it has never reached the top 100 list in our statistics, but for a while it became more and more fashionable in the last century, which makes Jasen really in tune with his generation.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Jasen was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
22 babies were named Jasen in 2022 - that's 1 in 7,337,545 newborn boys. With this number, the boys' name Jasen ranked 3,953 in our SmartGenius first name statistics in 2022, the most recent year for which first records are available.
You may not know anyone named Jasen, but there’s a good chance you live in the same state as someone with that name. In fact, 27 states are home to men and boys named Jasen. (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 Jasen living in one state or another. If your name is Jasen 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. In California, which has the most people named Jasen relative to the population, you still have to ask 23,912 men and boys their names before you hear Jasen as an answer just once.
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 Jasen 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 Jasen 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...
