Quashawn is a first name typically given to boys, but in rare cases also used as a girls name.
Recently, the name Quashawn 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 Quashawn. That means that a boy named Quashawn 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 Quashawn.
Do you know the feeling when you go to the zoo and the animal that is supposed to be in the enclosure is not there? You know it should be there, but you've never seen it? It's the same with Quashawn. Boys named Quashawn have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it a few years ago: At No. 1,723 Quashawn ranked higher than ever before in 1992. By comparison, there have been 108 years in which the first name Quashawn has not been given at all (or less than 5 times, which is the minimum number required for a name to be included in the statistics), most recently in 2022. In general, parents name their sons Quashawn only once in a blue moon, so boys and men with this name can consider themselves exceptional!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Quashawn was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
The first name Quashawn is a true rarity among all men and boys currently living in the United States – only 143 Americans in total bear this name. And these 143 men are located in only five states: New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia (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 Quashawn 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 Quashawn in relation to it’s male population is New Jersey. And yet even there, only one in 66,733 men would raise his hand if asked whether there was a Quashawn 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 eight letters, the name Quashawn is long compared to other names. In fact, 14.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly eight letters. 78% of all first names are shorter, while only 8% of all boys’ and girls’ names use nine letters or even more. 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.
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 Quashawn 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 Quashawn, you can simply say:
Queen
Unicorn
Apple
Sun
Hat
Apple
Windmill
Nut
