Kendon is a first name for boys.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Kendon 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 Kendon. In the SmartGenius ranking, Kendon is #3,381 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 Kendon.
In fact, the name Kendon hardly fits the trend of first names for boys. Between 1976 and 1999, young parents changed that a bit. For many years, Kendon wasn't given at all (or at least less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), but by 1984, the name was more popular than ever. Although the name never ranked higher than position 2,364, 17 parents chose it in 1984 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Kendon, you were already special when you were born - and you did your best to become a trendsetter.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Kendon was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the rare name Kendon a few times. Among all newborn boys, it ranked 4,483, for a total of 18 babies. The name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it didn't appear at all for a many years. As Kendon seems to be a bit more popular in the middle of the 20th century, it proves to remain a great rarity in 2022.
Meeting a man or boy named Kendon is something really special. Out of all 50 states, men and boys named Kendon can be found in only two: Oklahoma and Texas. No other state currently has residents named Kendon. However, we must admit that a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it’s quite possible that there are still a few men and boys called Kendon living in one state or another. (If your name is Kendon and you live outside of Oklahoma or Texas, we’d really appreciate it if you’d let us know so we can refine our statistics even further.) Either way, the name is quite rare. The best chance of meeting a Kendon is in Texas, as there live more men and boys with this name in relation to the population than in any other state. But even here in Texas, only 0.00025% of all male residents are called Kendon – that’s just one in 406,189! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 35 men going by that name. So, if your name is Kendon, chances are you will never meet another man bearing that extraordinary first name.
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 Kendon 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 Kendon 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...
