Rapheal is a first name for boys.
There’s a good chance that a boy named Rapheal in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Rapheal in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Rapheal by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Rapheal ranks at #5,707. That means there are 5,706 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 Rapheal.
If your name is Rapheal your parents may be very proud to let their son swim against the tide: The name Rapheal has never ranked higher than position 1,113 in our statistics and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea to choose the name Rapheal for their son. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1990 to give 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 Rapheal because that was a few decades ago – unless, of course, you have some very creative parents in your neighborhood.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Rapheal was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
As in the last century, Rapheal is still very rare. in 2022, for example, it was not given once in the entire U.S. - or, to be precise, we can only say that it was given four times at morst, because names given less than five times in one year are not included in the official statistics. So if you know someone named Rapheal who was born in 2022, please let us know - we would be very interested in hearing about it so that we can provide you with even more accurate statistics.
In not even one in five states you will find more than 4 men and boys with the name Rapheal. This first name might not be completely unknown, but in the entire United States, there are about 140 Americans who bear this name. And these 140 men and boys named Rapheal live in no more than 8 different states, including for example Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Michigan and Mississippi. In the other 41 states, there are either none or less than a handful boys and men with this name (to explain: The official statistics provide the data per state only if at least five men with a specific name live in the same state. So, it’s quite possible that there are one or two states where someone with the name Rapheal lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Rapheal and you live outside the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics). The state with the most boys and men named Rapheal relative to its male population is Mississippi. And even there, only one male in 117,640 would raise his hand if you asked, who is called Rapheal.
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 seven letters, the name Rapheal has a typical length for first names in the US. In fact, 26% of all common first names consist of exactly seven letters. 52% of all first names are shorter, while 22% have eight letters or more. 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 Rapheal 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?
