The first name 
Osmel

Osmel is a first name for boys.

Osmel – a very rare name!

Recently, the name Osmel 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 Osmel. That means that a boy named Osmel 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 Osmel.

Osmel -
at home in California and Texas

Meeting a man or boy named Osmel is something really special. Out of all 50 states, men and boys named Osmel can be found in only two: California and Texas. No other state currently has residents named Osmel. 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 Osmel living in one state or another. (If your name is Osmel and you live outside of California or Texas, 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 Osmel is in Texas, as there live more men and boys with this name in relation to the population than in any other state. But even here in Texas, only 0.00007% of all male residents are called Osmel – that’s just one in 1,353,965! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 15 men going by that name. So, if your name is Osmel, chances are you will never meet another man bearing that extraordinary first name.

Osmel has 5 letters 
and begins with an O

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter O is pretty rare as an initial letter for boys' names: only 1.8% of all common boys' names in the US begin with an O. The most common first letters of boys' names, by the way, are J, A and D, while X, U and Q are the least common initials of boys' names.

With five letters, the name Osmel 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.

That means that since 1.8% of all boys’ names begin with an O, this initial occurs only about half as often as the other letters on average. Nevertheless, there are of course single names beginning with an O, which are quite popular
