Knoah is a male first name.
There’s a good chance that a boy named Knoah in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Knoah in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Knoah by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Knoah ranks at #4,409. That means there are 4,408 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 Knoah.
Meeting a man or boy named Knoah is something really special. Out of all 50 states, men and boys named Knoah can be found in only two: California and Texas. No other state currently has residents named Knoah. 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 Knoah living in one state or another. (If your name is Knoah and you live outside of California 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 Knoah is in California, as there live more men and boys with this name in relation to the population than in any other state. But even here in California, only 0.00005% of all male residents are called Knoah – that’s just one in 2,041,460! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 13 men going by that name. So, if your name is Knoah, 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 five letters, the name Knoah 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.
If your name is Knoah 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...
