The first name 
Kosta

Kosta is a male first name.

Kosta – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a boy named Kosta in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Kosta in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Kosta by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Kosta ranks at #5,015. That means there are 5,014 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 Kosta.

Kosta -
at home in Florida and Illinois

Meeting a man or boy named Kosta is something really special. Out of all 50 states, men and boys named Kosta can be found in only two: Florida and Illinois. No other state currently has residents named Kosta. 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 Kosta living in one state or another. (If your name is Kosta and you live outside of Florida or Illinois, 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 Kosta is in Florida, as there live more men and boys with this name in relation to the population than in any other state. But even here in Florida, only 0.00011% of all male residents are called Kosta – that’s just one in 924,126! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 13 men going by that name. So, if your name is Kosta, chances are you will never meet another man bearing that extraordinary first name.

Kosta has 5 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 five letters, the name Kosta 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.
