Nicholaus is a first name for boys.
There’s a good chance that a boy named Nicholaus in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Nicholaus in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Nicholaus by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Nicholaus ranks at #6,657. That means there are 6,656 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 Nicholaus.
Is the name Nicholaus a dinosaur? We would say: It's classic! Parents chose this name most often in 1981, when it ranked #621 with 168 newborn boys receiving this special first name. In times of emerging digitalization, it thus experienced its last peak. Since Nicholaus is both classic and fancy at the same time, people didn't always come up with the idea of giving their son this unusual name. So, if your name is Nicholaus, feel classic and not old-fashioned, because after all, you stand out with your name these days!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Nicholaus was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
Welcome, Nicholaus, to 2022. Even if your highest rank is long ago, 7 parents welcomed a new Nicholaus to earth that year. That makes Nicholaus ranking on position 8,311 among newborn boys in the SmartGenius statistics. If you know someone named Nicholaus who was born in 2022, you know someone truly special.
You may not know anyone named Nicholaus, but there’s a good chance you live in the same state as someone with that name. In fact, 25 states are home to men and boys named Nicholaus. (To be fair, 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 entirely possible that there are still a few men and boys named Nicholaus living in one state or another. If your name is Nicholaus and you live outside of the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can refine our statistics even further). And while the first name is present in many states, it is still not one of the popular ones. In Washington, which has the most people named Nicholaus relative to the population, you still have to ask 35,181 men and boys their names before you hear Nicholaus as an answer just once.
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 nine letters, the name Nicholaus is relatively long compared to other names. In fact, 5.6% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly nine letters. 92% of all first names are shorter, while not even 2.5% of all boys’ and girls’ names use ten or more letters. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long with 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 Nicholaus 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...
