Lang is a first name typically given to boys, but in rare cases also used as a girls name.
Recently, the name Lang 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 Lang. That means that a boy named Lang is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name his whole life. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Lang.
If your name is Lang your parents may be very proud to let their son swim against the tide: The name Lang has never ranked higher than position 2,027 in our statistics and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea to choose the name Lang for their son. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1948 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 Lang 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 Lang was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
As in the last century, Lang is still an exception. Even in 2022, the name was given very rarely - in fact, only 8 times in the entire USA. So a Lang of 2022 will need very good binoculars to spot the next namesake of the same age.
Meeting a man or boy named Lang is something really special. Out of all 50 states, men and boys named Lang can be found in only : . No other state currently has residents named Lang. 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 Lang living in one state or another. (If your name is Lang and you live outside of , 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 Lang 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 0.00017% of all male residents are called Lang – that’s just one in 583,274! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 28 men going by that name. So, if your name is Lang, 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 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 four letters, the name Lang is shorter than most other given names. In fact, only 5.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly four letters. Just 1.2% of all first names are even shorter, while 93% consist of more than four 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 Lang 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...
