Joaquim is a first name for boys.
There’s a good chance that a boy named Joaquim in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Joaquim in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Joaquim by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Joaquim ranks at #3,677. That means there are 3,676 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 Joaquim.
If your name is Joaquim your parents may be very proud to let their son swim against the tide: The name Joaquim has never ranked higher than position 1,993 in our statistics and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea to choose the name Joaquim for their son. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1940 to give the name more often than usual – only compared to the rest of the time, of course. You probably still won't find many children named Joaquim because that was several decades ago – unless, of course, you have some very creative parents in your neighborhood.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Joaquim was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
As in the last century, Joaquim is still an exception. Even in 2022, the name was given very rarely - in fact, only 33 times in the entire USA. So a Joaquim of 2022 will need very good binoculars to spot the next namesake of the same age.
The first name Joaquim is a true rarity among all men and boys currently living in the United States – only 135 Americans in total bear this name. And these 135 men are located in only five states: California, Florida, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York (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 Joaquim 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 Joaquim in relation to it’s male population is Massachusetts. And yet even there, only one in 54,681 men would raise his hand if asked whether there was a Joaquim 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 seven letters, the name Joaquim has a typical length for first names in the US. In fact, 26% of all common first names consist of exactly seven letters. 52% of all first names are shorter, while 22% have eight 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 Joaquim 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 Joaquim, you can simply say:
Joker
Orange
Apple
