Kean is a male first name.
There’s a good chance that a boy named Kean in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Kean in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Kean by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Kean ranks at #4,111. That means there are 4,110 more common boys names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Kean.
Do you know the feeling when you go to the zoo and the animal that is supposed to be in the enclosure is not there? You know it should to be there, but you've never seen it? It's the same with Kean. Boys named Kean have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it many years ago: Reaching pos. 1,856 Kean ranked higher than ever in 1955. By comparison, there have been 78 years in which the first name Kean has not been given at all (or less than 5 times, which is the minimum number required for a name to be included in the statistics), most recently in 1980. In general, parents name their sons Kean only once in a blue moon, so boys and men with this name can consider themselves really special!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Kean was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, Kean continues to be a precious jewel: 14 newborns were named Kean that year, ranking #5,277 in the SmartGenius name statistics. If your baby's name is Kean, you must have a flair for beautiful and rare names: Congratulations, your child is sure to feel unique.
The first name Kean is a true rarity among all men and boys currently living in the United States – only 51 Americans in total bear this name. And these 51 men are located in only three states: California, 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 Kean 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 Kean in relation to it’s male population is California. And yet even there, only one in 418,761 men would raise his hand if asked whether there was a Kean 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 four letters, the name Kean is shorter than most other given names. In fact, only 5.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly four letters. Just 1.2% of all first names are even shorter, while 93% consist of more than four letters. 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 Kean 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...
