Kairos is a first name typically given to boys, but in rare cases also used as a girls name.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Kairos 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 Kairos. In the SmartGenius ranking, Kairos is #2,866 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 Kairos.
The first name Kairos is a true rarity among all men and boys currently living in the United States – only 102 Americans in total bear this name. And these 102 men are located in only five states: California, Florida, Missouri, New York 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 Kairos 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 Kairos in relation to it’s male population is Florida. And yet even there, only one in 191,198 men would raise his hand if asked whether there was a Kairos present.
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 Kairos 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 Kairos 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...
