Qadir is a male first name.
There’s a good chance that a boy named Qadir in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Qadir in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Qadir by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Qadir ranks at #5,286. That means there are 5,285 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 Qadir.
In fact, the name Qadir hardly fits the trend of first names for boys. Between 1976 and 1999, young parents changed that a bit. For many years, Qadir wasn't given at all (or at least less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), but by 1995, the name was more popular than ever. Although the name never ranked higher than position 3,400, 16 parents chose it in 1995 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Qadir, you were already special when you were born - and you did your best to become a trendsetter.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Qadir was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the rare name Qadir a few times. Among all newborn boys, it ranked 4,324, for a total of 19 babies. The name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it didn't appear at all for a many years. As Qadir seems to be a bit more popular in the middle of the 20th century, it proves to remain a great rarity in 2022.
The first name Qadir is a true rarity among all men and boys currently living in the United States – only 53 Americans in total bear this name. And these 53 men are located in only four states: Georgia, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania (it should be noted that the official statistics provide the data per state only if there are at least 5 men with this name in the state. So, if your name is Qadir and you live outside the states marked on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics). The state with the most boys and men named Qadir in relation to it’s male population is Pennsylvania. And yet even there, only one in 315,930 men would raise his hand if asked whether there was a Qadir present.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The Q is really rare as a first letter for boys' names: only 0.8% of all common boys' names in the US begin with a Q. Only the letters X and U are even rarer as the first letter of boys' names. By the way, the most common initial letters for boys’ names are J and A.
With five letters, the name Qadir 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 as 0.8% of all boys' names start with a Q, all other letters occur on average more than five times as often as the Q. Of the comparatively few boys' names that begin with a Q, most are also not very common - the most popular currently is the one of Mr. Tarantino.
If your name is Qadir 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 Qadir, you can simply say:
Queen
Apple
Dinosaur
Igloo
Rocket
