Leith is a first name for boys, occasionally also given to girls.
There’s a good chance that a boy named Leith in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Leith in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Leith by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Leith ranks at #5,759. That means there are 5,758 more common boys names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer.
If your name is Leith your parents may be very proud to let their son swim against the tide: The name Leith has never ranked higher than position 1,686 in our statistics and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea to choose the name Leith for their son. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1965 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 Leith 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 Leith was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
As in the last century, Leith is still an exception. Even in 2022, the name was given very rarely - in fact, only 15 times in the entire USA. So a Leith of 2022 will need very good binoculars to spot the next namesake of the same age.
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 Leith 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 Leith 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...
So that everyone really understands you when you have to spell the name Leith, you can simply say:
Lion
Elephant
Igloo
Tiger
Hat
