The first name 
Narayan

Narayan is a male first name.

Narayan – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a boy named Narayan in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Narayan in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Narayan by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Narayan ranks at #5,843. That means there are 5,842 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 Narayan.
