When two boys called Kekoa meet...

In the SmartGenius ranking, Kekoa is #1,977 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 Kekoa.

Kekoa -
ahead of the curve

In fact, the name Kekoa 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), Kekoa seemed to be more popular than ever in 2001. Although the name never ranked higher than #1,688, 61 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Kekoa, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.

In years where the graph has no value, the name Kekoa was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

In 2022, expectant parents chose the yet rare name Kekoa a few times. Among all newborn boys it ranked #1,923 - with a total of 68 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.

Kekoa has 5 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 five letters, the name Kekoa is comparatively short. In fact, 17.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly five letters. Only 7% of all first names are even shorter, while 75% have more than five 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.
