Neale is a first name typically given to boys, but in rare cases also used as a girls name.
Recently, the name Neale 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 Neale. That means that a boy named Neale 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 Neale.
If your name is Neale your parents may be very proud to let their son swim against the tide: The name Neale has never ranked higher than position 1,076 in our statistics and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea to choose the name Neale for their son. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1937 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 Neale 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 Neale was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
As in the last century, Neale is still very rare. in 2022, for example, it was not given once in the entire U.S. - or, to be precise, we can only say that it was given four times at morst, because names given less than five times in one year are not included in the official statistics. So if you know someone named Neale who was born in 2022, please let us know - we would be very interested in hearing about it so that we can provide you with even more accurate statistics.
Meeting a man or boy named Neale is something really special. Out of all 50 states, men and boys named Neale can be found in only : . No other state currently has residents named Neale. 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 Neale living in one state or another. (If your name is Neale and you live outside of , 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 Neale is in New York, as there live more men and boys with this name in relation to the population than in any other state. But even here in New York, only 0.00004% of all male residents are called Neale – that’s just one in 2,553,220! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 5 men going by that name. So, if your name is Neale, chances are you will never meet another man bearing that extraordinary first name.
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 Neale 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 Neale 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...
