Kainoa is a first name typically given to boys, but in rare cases also used as a girls name.
Kainoa is a well-known name in the US, but is still special. It is currently only given to every ten thousandth boy, and therefore ranks at 1614 in the SmartGenius statistics. This means there are 1,613 boys names that are more common, but also tens of thousands that are much rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Kainoa.
In fact, the name Kainoa did not fit the trend of the last century. Young parents in the 2000s began to change that a bit. After several years of not being given at all (or less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), Kainoa seemed to be more popular than ever in 2003. Although the name never ranked higher than #1,392, 86 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Kainoa, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Kainoa was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the yet rare name Kainoa a few times. Among all newborn boys it ranked #1,806 - with a total of 75 baby boys. This means, as you can see above, that the name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it supposedly didn't appear at all for many years - giving boys with this first name a sheen of something particularly contemporary and special.
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 Kainoa 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.
If your name is Kainoa 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...
