Magen is a first name for girls.
Recently, the name Magen 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 girl in 100,000 has been named Magen. That means that a girl named Magen is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name her whole life. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Magen.
Is the name Magen a dinosaur? We would say: It's classic! Parents chose this name most often in 1985, when it ranked #714 with 226 newborn girls receiving this special first name. In times of emerging digitalization, it thus experienced its last peak. Since Magen is both classic and fancy at the same time, people didn't always come up with the idea of giving their daughter this unusual name. So, if your name is Magen, feel classic and not old-fashioned, because after all, you stand out with your name these days!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Magen was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
If you are reading this and you know someone with the name Magen born in 2022, please get in touch with us. Because we could not find any newborn girls with this name for the said year. Note: The official statistics only include names given at least 5 times in a year. So, if you know a Magen born in 2022, that seems like a real fluke!
You may not know anyone named Magen, but there’s a good chance you live in the same state as someone with that name. In fact, 25 states are home to women and girls named Magen. (To be fair, 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 entirely possible that there are still a few women and girls named Magen living in one state or another. If your name is Magen and you live outside of the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can refine our statistics even further). And while the first name is present in many states, it is still not one of the popular ones. In Arkansas, which has the most people named Magen relative to the population, you still have to ask 21,795 women and girls their names before you hear Magen as an answer just once.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter M is a quite popular first letter for girls' names. That’s because 8.5% of all common girls’ names in the US begin with this letter. Only the first letters A and S are more common for girls' names.
With five letters, the name Magen 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.
Therefore: As 8.5% of all girls' names start with an M, this initial letter occurs nearly 2.5-times as often as all 26 letters on average – and the most common one of all the girls’ names starting with M is Mary.
If your name is Magen 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...
