Jawan is a first name typically given to boys, but in rare cases also used as a girls name.
There’s a good chance that a boy named Jawan in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Jawan in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Jawan by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Jawan ranks at #6,847. That means there are 6,846 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 Jawan.
Jawan 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 Jawan - until this very name unexpectedly cried out for attention and peaked in popularity at rank number 995 in 1997. Although it has never reached the top 100 list, this boys' name seems to have been in vogue for a while, which makes Jawan really in tune with his generation.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Jawan was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

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 Jawan 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.

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...
