Rashaan is a male first name. In very rare cases it is also used for girls.
Recently, the name Rashaan 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 Rashaan. That means that a boy named Rashaan 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 Rashaan.
Is the name Rashaan a dinosaur? We would say: It's classic! Parents chose this name most often in 1995, when it ranked #863 with 140 newborn boys receiving this special first name. In times of emerging digitalization, it thus experienced its last peak. Since Rashaan is both classic and fancy at the same time, people didn't always come up with the idea of giving their son this unusual name. So, if your name is Rashaan, feel classic and not old-fashioned, because after all, you stand out with your name these days!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Rashaan was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

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.

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.
