The first name 
Keyshon

Keyshon is a male first name.

Keyshon – a very rare name!

Recently, the name Keyshon has been given only a handful of times a year and is therefore particularly rare, at least in the US. In recent years, not even one boy in 100,000 has been named Keyshon. That means that a boy named Keyshon is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name his whole life. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Keyshon.

Keyshon -
at home in Georgia and North Carolina

Meeting a man or boy named Keyshon is something really special. Out of all 50 states, men and boys named Keyshon can be found in only two: Georgia and North Carolina. No other state currently has residents named Keyshon. 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 Keyshon living in one state or another. (If your name is Keyshon and you live outside of Georgia or North Carolina, 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 Keyshon is in North Carolina, as there live more men and boys with this name in relation to the population than in any other state. But even here in North Carolina, only 0.00013% of all male residents are called Keyshon – that’s just one in 764,315! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 11 men going by that name. So, if your name is Keyshon, chances are you will never meet another man bearing that extraordinary first name.

Keyshon has 7 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 seven letters, the name Keyshon has a typical length for first names in the US. In fact, 26% of all common first names consist of exactly seven letters. 52% of all first names are shorter, while 22% have eight 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.
