The first name 
Joanthan

Joanthan is a male first name.

Joanthan – a very rare name!

Recently, the name Joanthan 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 Joanthan. That means that a boy named Joanthan 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 Joanthan.

Joanthan -
at home only in a few regions of the USA

The first name Joanthan is a true rarity among all men and boys currently living in the United States – only 113 Americans in total bear this name. And these 113 men are located in only four states: California, New Jersey, New York 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 Joanthan 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 Joanthan in relation to it’s male population is California. And yet even there, only one in 286,521 men would raise his hand if asked whether there was a Joanthan present.

Joanthan has 8 letters 
and begins with a J

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 eight letters, the name Joanthan is long compared to other names. In fact, 14.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly eight letters. 78% of all first names are shorter, while only 8% of all boys’ and girls’ names use nine letters or even more. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long with 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.

J, o, a, n, t, h, a and n

If you take all the letters in the name Joanthan – J, o, a, n, t, h, a and n – and put them together again, you can form other names, such as Jhonatan or others.
