Jaylan is a first name for boys, occasionally also given to girls.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Jaylan is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 4 out of 100,000 boys have been named Jaylan. In the SmartGenius ranking, Jaylan is #1,812 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 Jaylan.
Jaylan is a fairly recent phenomenon. In the past, the name wasn't really on the radar of expectant parents. Then, unexpectedly, Jaylan cried out for attention, reaching its peak in popularity at #549 in our SmartGenius statistics in the year 2000. People over 50 probably didn't have classmates named Jaylan, for there were many years in which not a single parent chose this first name for their son. Although it also has never been in the top 100 of most popular first names, Jaylan seems to have been in vogue for a while, especially since the beginning of the new millennium.

You can meet boys and men with the name Jaylan in 23 states – which is obviously nearly every second of all 50 states in the USA, for example in Alabama, Arkansas, California, Florida or Georgia. In relation to the number of residents, the most men and boys with the first name Jaylan live in Mississippi – here, one in 8,928 bears this name.

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 Jaylan 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.
If your name is Jaylan 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?

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...
