Nael -
ahead of the curve

In fact, the name Nael did not fit the trend of the last century. Young parents in the 2000s began to change that a bit. After several years of not being given at all (or less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), Nael seemed to be more popular than ever in 2022. Although the name never ranked higher than #1,485, 105 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Nael, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.

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

In proportion to the male population, most men and boys with the first name Nael live in Texas, but even there the name is rather special – on average, you would have to ask 166,927 men and boys in Texas for their name before you meet one who answers with Nael.

Nael has 4 letters 
and begins with an N

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 four letters, the name Nael is shorter than most other given names. In fact, only 5.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly four letters. Just 1.2% of all first names are even shorter, while 93% consist of more than four 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.
