Langdon is a male first name. In very rare cases it is also used for girls.
There’s a good chance that a boy named Langdon in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Langdon in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Langdon by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Langdon ranks at #4,567. That means there are 4,566 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 Langdon.
If your name is Langdon your parents may be very proud to let their son swim against the tide: The name Langdon has never ranked higher than position 1,422 in our statistics and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea to choose the name Langdon 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 Langdon 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 Langdon was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
As in the last century, Langdon is still an exception. Even in 2022, the name was given very rarely - in fact, only 11 times in the entire USA. So a Langdon of 2022 will need very good binoculars to spot the next namesake of the same age.
Meeting a man or boy named Langdon is something really special. Out of all 50 states, men and boys named Langdon can be found in only : . No other state currently has residents named Langdon. 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 Langdon living in one state or another. (If your name is Langdon 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 Langdon is in North Carolina, as there live more men and boys with this name in relation to the population than in any other state. But even here in North Carolina, only 0.00011% of all male residents are called Langdon – that’s just one in 917,178! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 5 men going by that name. So, if your name is Langdon, 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 seven letters, the name Langdon has a typical length for first names in the US. In fact, 26% of all common first names consist of exactly seven letters. 52% of all first names are shorter, while 22% have eight 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.
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 Langdon 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...
