Landen is a fairly recent phenomenon. In the past, the name wasn't really on the radar of expectant parents. Then, unexpectedly, Landen cried out for attention, reaching its peak in popularity at #196 in our SmartGenius statistics in the year 2008. People over 50 probably didn't have classmates named Landen, for there were many years in which not a single parent chose this first name for their son. Although it also has never been in the top 100 of most popular first names, Landen seems to have been in vogue for a while, especially since the beginning of the new millennium.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Landen was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

The name Landen may not be in the top rankings of the most popular boys’ names, but it is one of the few male given names, along with only 385 others, that can be found in every single state in the U.S. from Alaska to Florida and from California to New York. Of course, the name occurs more frequently in some states than in others – and Landen is apparently especially popular in Alaska. Although the name is not one of the top 100 most popular men’s names here either, one in 3,643 men in Alaska is called Landen.

This is true for all currently living people across all states and age groups – the recent popularity of the name Landen as a baby name is, of course, a bit different, as you can see from the statistics above.
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 six letters, the name Landen 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.

If your name is Landen 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?

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...
