Rashan is a male first name. In very rare cases it is also used for girls.
Recently, the name Rashan 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 Rashan. That means that a boy named Rashan 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 Rashan.
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 Rashan. Boys named Rashan have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it a few years ago: At No. 1,058 Rashan ranked higher than ever before in 1979. By comparison, there have been 93 years in which the first name Rashan 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 2015. In general, parents name their sons Rashan 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 Rashan was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

In not even one in five states you will find more than 4 men and boys with the name Rashan. This first name might not be completely unknown, but in the entire United States, there are about 325 Americans who bear this name. And these 325 men and boys named Rashan live in no more than 6 different states, including for example California, Florida, New Jersey, New York and Ohio. In the other 43 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 Rashan lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Rashan 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 Rashan relative to its male population is New Jersey. And even there, only one male in 26,616 would raise his hand if you asked, who is called Rashan.
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 six letters, the name Rashan is of average length. In fact, 28% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly six letters. 24% of all first names are shorter, while 48% have seven 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 Rashan 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...
