Rami is a male first name. In very rare cases it is also used for girls.
Rami is a well-known name in the US, but is still special. It is currently only given to every ten thousandth boy, and therefore ranks at 1469 in the SmartGenius statistics. This means there are 1,468 boys names that are more common, but also tens of thousands that are much rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Rami.
In fact, the name Rami hardly fits the trend of first names for boys. Between 1976 and 1999, young parents changed that a bit. For many years, Rami 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 1992, the name was more popular than ever. Although the name never ranked higher than position 1,070, 90 parents chose it in 1992 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Rami, 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 Rami was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the rare name Rami a few times. Among all newborn boys, it ranked 1,097, for a total of 169 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 Rami seems to be a bit more popular in the middle of the 20th century, it proves to remain a great rarity in 2022.
The odds of having a man or boy named Rami 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 Rami is registered in 16 states, among which are California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois or Maryland. In proportion to the male population, most men and boys with the first name Rami live in California, but even there the name is rather special – on average, you would have to ask 28,602 men and boys in California for their name before you meet one who answers with Rami.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter R is quite common as an initial letter for boys’ names. To be precise, 5.2% of all boys' names in the US begin with this letter. The most common first letters of boys' names, by the way, are J, A and D.
With four letters, the name Rami 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.
Therefore: As 5.2% of all boys' names start with R, this initial letter occurs much more often than all 26 letters on average. And maybe interesting to know: of all the names that begin with an R, Robert is the most common.
If your name is Rami 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...
