The first name 
Kirill

Kirill is a first name for boys.

Kirill – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a boy named Kirill in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Kirill in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Kirill by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Kirill ranks at #3,557. That means there are 3,556 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 Kirill.

Kirill -
at home only in a few regions of the USA

The first name Kirill is a true rarity among all men and boys currently living in the United States – only 93 Americans in total bear this name. And these 93 men are located in only four states: California, Florida, New York and Washington (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 Kirill 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 Kirill in relation to it’s male population is Florida. And yet even there, only one in 149,858 men would raise his hand if asked whether there was a Kirill present.

Kirill has 6 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 six letters, the name Kirill 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.
