Laban is a male first name.
Recently, the name Laban 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 Laban. That means that a boy named Laban is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name his whole life.
If your name is Laban your parents may be very proud to let their son swim against the tide: The name Laban has never ranked higher than position 1,270 in our statistics and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea to choose the name Laban for their son. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1911 to give the name more often than usual – only compared to the rest of the time, of course. You probably still won't find many children named Laban because that was several decades ago – unless, of course, you have some very creative parents in your neighborhood.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Laban was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
As in the last century, Laban is still very rare. in 2022, for example, it was not given once in the entire U.S. - or, to be precise, we can only say that it was given four times at morst, because names given less than five times in one year are not included in the official statistics. So if you know someone named Laban who was born in 2022, please let us know - we would be very interested in hearing about it so that we can provide you with even more accurate statistics.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter L is neither particularly common nor particularly rare as a first letter for boys' names: 4.1% of all common boys' names in the US begin with this letter. By the way, the most common first letters of boys' names are J and A, while X and U are the least common initials of boys' names.
With five letters, the name Laban 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.
Thus, it follows that with 4.1% of all boys' names starting with an L, this initial letter occurs about as often as all 26 letters on average. Nevertheless, there are boys' names with L that are quite common, the most common in the U.S. at present is Larry.
If your name is Laban 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...
