Kailen is a first name for all genders. The name is given about equally often as boys and girls name.

For many years, Kailen wasn't given at all (or at least less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), but by 1999, the name was more popular than ever. Although the name never ranked higher than position 3,910, 64 parents chose it in 1999 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Kailen, you were already special when you were born - and you did your best to become a trendsetter.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Kailen was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the rare name Kailen a few times. Among all newborn babies, it ranked 7,423, for a total of 33 newborns. The name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it didn't appear at all for a many years. As Kailen seems to be a bit more popular in the middle of the 20th century, it proves to remain a great rarity in 2022.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter K is a quite popular first letter for given names. That’s because 7.7% of all common first names in the US begin with this letter. Only the initial letters A and J are more common for first names.
With six letters, the name Kailen 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.
Therefore: As 7.7% of all first names start with a K, this initial letter occurs more than twice as often as all 26 letters on average.
