Macallan is a male first name. In very rare cases it is also used for girls.
There’s a good chance that a boy named Macallan in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Macallan in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Macallan by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Macallan ranks at #3,697. That means there are 3,696 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 Macallan.
The first name Macallan is a true rarity among all men and boys currently living in the United States – only 26 Americans in total bear this name. And these 26 men are located in only three states: California, Illinois and Pennsylvania (it should be noted that the official statistics provide the data per state only if there are at least 5 men with this name in the state. So, if your name is Macallan and you live outside the states marked on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics). The state with the most boys and men named Macallan in relation to it’s male population is California. And yet even there, only one in 1,020,730 men would raise his hand if asked whether there was a Macallan present.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter M is a particularly popular initial letter for boys’ names – 6.2% of all common boys’ names in the US begin with this letter. By the way, the most common first letters for boys’ names are J and A.
With eight letters, the name Macallan is long compared to other names.

On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long with no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.
That means that with 6.2% of all boys' names that begin with an M, this first letter is much more common than the other letters on average. If you are now wondering which boys’ name with M is the most common... the answer is Michael.
If your name is Macallan 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...
