Keon is a male first name. In very rare cases it is also used for girls.
Keon 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 1103 in the SmartGenius statistics. This means there are 1,102 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 Keon.
Keon is a fairly recent phenomenon. In the past, the name wasn't really on the radar of expectant parents. Then, unexpectedly, Keon cried out for attention, reaching its peak in popularity at #589 in our SmartGenius statistics in the year 2002. People over 50 probably didn't have classmates named Keon, for there were many years in which not a single parent chose this first name for their son. Although it also has never been in the top 100 of most popular first names, Keon seems to have been in vogue for a while, especially since the beginning of the new millennium.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Keon was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
180 babies were named Keon in 2022 - that's 1 in 896,811 newborn boys. With this number, the boys' name Keon ranked 1,061 in our SmartGenius first name statistics in 2022, the most recent year for which records are available.
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 Keon 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 Keon 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...
