The first name 
Layman

Layman is a first name for boys.

Layman – a very rare name!

Recently, the name Layman 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 Layman. That means that a boy named Layman is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name his whole life.

Layman -
once in a blue moon

Do you know the feeling when you go to the zoo and the animal that is supposed to be in the enclosure is not there? You know it should to be there, but you've never seen it? It's the same with Layman. Boys named Layman have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it many years ago: Reaching pos. 1,880 Layman ranked higher than ever in 1937. By comparison, there have been 110 years in which the first name Layman has not been given at all (or less than 5 times, which is the minimum number required for a name to be included in the statistics), most recently in 2022. In general, parents name their sons Layman only once in a blue moon, so boys and men with this name can consider themselves really special!

In years where the graph has no value, the name Layman was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

Layman has 6 letters 
and begins with an L

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 Layman 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.

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.

Other names with
