The first name Kainan is a true rarity among all men and boys currently living in the United States – only 64 Americans in total bear this name. And these 64 men are located in only five states: Georgia, Kentucky, Ohio, Tennessee 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 Kainan 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 Kainan in relation to it’s male population is Tennessee. And yet even there, only one in 214,294 men would raise his hand if asked whether there was a Kainan present.

Kainan has 6 letters 
and begins with a K

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter K is a real popular first letter for boys’ names. That’s because 7.9% of all common boys’ names in the US begin with this letter. Only the first letters J, A and D are more common for boys' names.

With six letters, the name Kainan 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 7.9% of all boys' names start with a K, this initial letter occurs more than twice as often as all 26 letters on average. Interesting detail: of all the boys’ names that begin with a K, Kenneth is the most common.
