The first name 
Marven

Marven is a first name for boys.

Marven – a very rare name!

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

Marven -
swimming against the tide

If your name is Marven your parents may be very proud to let their son swim against the tide: The name Marven has never ranked higher than position 1,408 in our statistics and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea to choose the name Marven for their son. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1930 to give the name more often than usual – only compared to the rest of the time, of course. You probably still won't find many children named Marven because that was several decades ago – unless, of course, you have some very creative parents in your neighborhood.

In years where the graph has no value, the name Marven was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

2022 - Looking for Marven?

As in the last century, Marven is still an exception. Even in 2022, the name was given very rarely - in fact, only 5 times in the entire USA. So a Marven of 2022 will need very good binoculars to spot the next namesake of the same age.

Marven -
at home in California and Florida

Meeting a man or boy named Marven is something really special. Out of all 50 states, men and boys named Marven can be found in only two: California and Florida. No other state currently has residents named Marven. 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 Marven living in one state or another. (If your name is Marven and you live outside of California or Florida, 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 Marven is in Florida, as there live more men and boys with this name in relation to the population than in any other state. But even here in Florida, only 0.00011% of all male residents are called Marven – that’s just one in 924,126! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 11 men going by that name. So, if your name is Marven, chances are you will never meet another man bearing that extraordinary first name.

Marven has 6 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 six letters, the name Marven 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.

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.
