The first name 
Marland

Marland is a male first name.

Marland – a very rare name!

Recently, the name Marland 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 Marland. That means that a boy named Marland 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 Marland.

Marland -
at home only in a few regions of the USA

The first name Marland is a true rarity among all men and boys currently living in the United States – only 104 Americans in total bear this name. And these 104 men are located in only four states: Illinois, Minnesota, Oklahoma 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 Marland 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 Marland in relation to it’s male population is Oklahoma. And yet even there, only one in 34,824 men would raise his hand if asked whether there was a Marland present.

Marland has 7 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 seven letters, the name Marland has a typical length for first names in the US. In fact, 26% of all common first names consist of exactly seven letters. 52% of all first names are shorter, while 22% have eight 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.

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.
