Jearl is a first name for boys, occasionally also given to girls.
Recently, the name Jearl has been given only a handful of times a year and is therefore particularly rare, at least in the US. In recent years, not even one boy in 100,000 has been named Jearl. That means that a boy named Jearl is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name his whole life. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Jearl.
Do you know the feeling when you go to the zoo and the animal that is supposed to be in the enclosure is not there? You know it should to be there, but you've never seen it? It's the same with Jearl. Boys named Jearl have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it many years ago: Reaching pos. 1,063 Jearl ranked higher than ever in 1941. By comparison, there have been 94 years in which the first name Jearl has not been given at all (or less than 5 times, which is the minimum number required for a name to be included in the statistics), most recently in 2022. In general, parents name their sons Jearl only once in a blue moon, so boys and men with this name can consider themselves really special!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Jearl was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
The first name Jearl is a true rarity among all men and boys currently living in the United States – only 40 Americans in total bear this name. And these 40 men are located in only four states: Arkansas, Kentucky, Oklahoma and Texas (it should be noted that the official statistics provide the data per state only if there are at least 5 men with this name in the state. So, if your name is Jearl and you live outside the states marked on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics). The state with the most boys and men named Jearl in relation to it’s male population is Oklahoma. And yet even there, only one in 318,389 men would raise his hand if asked whether there was a Jearl present.
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 Jearl 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 Jearl 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...
So that everyone really understands you when you have to spell the name Jearl, you can simply say:
