The first name 
Lennin

Lennin is a first name typically given to boys, but in rare cases also used as a girls name.

Lennin – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a boy named Lennin in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Lennin in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Lennin by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Lennin ranks at #6,582. That means there are 6,581 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 Lennin.

Lennin -
at home in California and Texas

Meeting a man or boy named Lennin is something really special. Out of all 50 states, men and boys named Lennin can be found in only two: California and Texas. No other state currently has residents named Lennin. 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 Lennin living in one state or another. (If your name is Lennin and you live outside of California or Texas, 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 Lennin 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 0.00006% of all male residents are called Lennin – that’s just one in 1,633,168! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 16 men going by that name. So, if your name is Lennin, chances are you will never meet another man bearing that extraordinary first name.

Lennin 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 Lennin 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.
