Paz is a unisex first name, but it has been primarily given to girls for a number of years.
At least in the US, the name Paz is extremely rare. Recently, only a handful of babies has been named Paz each year. That means it’s extremely unlikely that a boy or girl called Paz will meet someone with the same name. So, Paz is a very special name!
If your name is Paz your parents may be very proud to let their child swim against the tide: The name Paz never ranked higher than position 3,427 in our statistics, and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea of naming their offspring Paz. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1930 to choose 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 Paz because that was several decades ago - unless, of course, you have some very creative parents in the neighborhood.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Paz was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
As in the last century, Paz still proves to be exceptional. Even in 2022, the name was given very rarely - in fact, only 15 times in the entire U.S. So, a Paz from 2022 will need very good binoculars to spot the next namesake of the same age.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter P is pretty rare as an initial letter for first names: only 1.6% of all common first names in the US begin with a P. The most common first letters of given names, by the way, are A, J and K, while U, X and Q are the least common initials of first names.
With only three letters, the name Paz is obviously very short. In fact, only 1.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly three letters. Just 0.2% of all first names are even shorter and only have two letters, while nearly 99% of all boys’ and girls’ names use more than three 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 1.6% of all first names begin with a P, this initial occurs less than half as often as the other letters on average.
If your name is Paz 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...
