Naaman is a first name for boys.
There’s a good chance that a boy named Naaman in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Naaman in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Naaman by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Naaman ranks at #6,544. That means there are 6,543 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 Naaman.
If your name is Naaman your parents may be very proud to let their son swim against the tide: The name Naaman has never ranked higher than position 1,568 in our statistics and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea to choose the name Naaman for their son. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1912 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 Naaman 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 Naaman was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
As in the last century, Naaman is still an exception. Even in 2022, the name was given very rarely - in fact, only 5 times in the entire USA. So a Naaman of 2022 will need very good binoculars to spot the next namesake of the same age.
The first name Naaman is a true rarity among all men and boys currently living in the United States – only 22 Americans in total bear this name. And these 22 men are located in only three states: Pennsylvania, Texas and West Virginia (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 Naaman 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 Naaman in relation to it’s male population is West Virginia. And yet even there, only one in 139,285 men would raise his hand if asked whether there was a Naaman present.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: 3.0% of all common boys' names in the US begin with an N. This means that N as the first letter for boys' names is neither particularly common nor rare. The most common first letters of boys' names are J, A and D, while X, U and Q are the least common initials of boys' names.
With six letters, the name Naaman 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.
Thus, if 3.0% of all boys’ names start with an N, this initial letter is slightly less common than all other letters on average. Nevertheless, there are boys' names with N that are quite common in the U.S., the most common at present is Nicholas.
If your name is Naaman 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...
So that everyone really understands you when you have to spell the name Naaman, you can simply say:
