The first name 
Manas

Manas is a first name for boys.

Manas – a very rare name!

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

Manas -
at home in California and Texas

Meeting a man or boy named Manas is something really special. Out of all 50 states, men and boys named Manas can be found in only two: California and Texas. No other state currently has residents named Manas. 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 Manas living in one state or another. (If your name is Manas 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 Manas 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 0.00007% of all male residents are called Manas – that’s just one in 1,360,973! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 17 men going by that name. So, if your name is Manas, chances are you will never meet another man bearing that extraordinary first name.

Manas has 5 letters 
and begins with an M

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 five letters, the name Manas 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.

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.
