Nabil is a male first name. In very rare cases it is also used for girls.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Nabil is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 3 out of 100,000 boys have been named Nabil. In the SmartGenius ranking, Nabil is #2,429 on the list of most common boys names. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Nabil.
In fact, the name Nabil hardly fits the trend of first names for boys. Between 1976 and 1999, young parents changed that a bit. For many years, Nabil wasn't given at all (or at least less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), but by 1994, the name was more popular than ever. Although the name never ranked higher than position 1,446, 58 parents chose it in 1994 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Nabil, you were already special when you were born - and you did your best to become a trendsetter.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Nabil was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the rare name Nabil a few times. Among all newborn boys, it ranked 2,160, for a total of 57 babies. The name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it didn't appear at all for a many years. As Nabil seems to be a bit more popular in the middle of the 20th century, it proves to remain a great rarity in 2022.
The odds of having a man or boy named Nabil in your home state are about the same as the chance for a white Christmas in New York City – in both cases they are less than 30%. More precisely, the first name Nabil is registered in 10 states, among which are California, Florida, Illinois, Michigan or Minnesota. In proportion to the male population, most men and boys with the first name Nabil live in New York, but even there the name is rather special – on average, you would have to ask 60,217 men and boys in New York for their name before you meet one who answers with Nabil.
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 five letters, the name Nabil 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.
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 Nabil 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...
