Josiel is a first name for boys.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Josiel is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 2 out of 100,000 boys have been named Josiel. In the SmartGenius ranking, Josiel is # 3,481 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 Josiel.
Meeting a man or boy named Josiel is something really special. Out of all 50 states, men and boys named Josiel can be found in only three: Florida, New York and Texas. No other state currently has residents named Josiel. However, we must admit that a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it’s quite possible that there are still a few men and boys called Josiel living in one state or another. (If your name is Josiel and you live outside of Florida, New York or Texas, we’d really appreciate it if you’d let us know so we can refine our statistics even further.) Either way, the name is quite rare. The best chance of meeting a Josiel is in Florida, as there live more men and boys with this name in relation to the population than in any other state. But even here in Florida, only 0.00044% of all male residents are called Josiel – that’s just one in 227,355! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 48 men going by that name. So, if your name is Josiel, chances are you will never meet another man bearing that extraordinary first 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 Josiel 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 Josiel 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...
