Nino is a first name typically given to boys, but in rare cases also used as a girls name.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Nino is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 2 out of 100,000 boys have been named Nino. In the SmartGenius ranking, Nino is #2,554 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 Nino.
While Nino is not one of the most popular names of all time, it seems to have attracted parents especially more than 50 years ago in the last century. In 1968, the name Nino reached its highest popularity with #1,166 in our ranking of all male first names. As it is so exquisite, mothers and fathers did not always come up with the idea of naming their son Nino. Perhaps it was because the name was only occasionally in keeping with the spirit of the times - and boys in those decades were given the unusual and beautiful name of Nino.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Nino was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, 49 babies were born with the name Nino. This puts the name in rank 2,372 in the SmartGenius statistics - or in other words, one in 3,294,408 newborns was named Nino that year. Ever since first names have been registered, Nino has been and remains marvelously unusual!
The odds of having a man or boy named Nino 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 Nino is registered in 10 states, among which are California, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts or Michigan. In proportion to the male population, most men and boys with the first name Nino live in New York, but even there the name is rather special – on average, you would have to ask 62,579 men and boys in New York for their name before you meet one who answers with Nino.
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 Nino 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.
If your name is Nino 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...
So that everyone really understands you when you have to spell the name Nino, you can simply say:
