Revan is a male first name. In some cases it's also given to girls.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Revan is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 4 out of 100,000 boys have been named Revan. In the SmartGenius ranking, Revan is #1,943 on the list of most common boys names. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Revan.
The odds of having a man or boy named Revan 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 Revan is registered in 11 states, among which are California, Florida, Illinois, Kansas or Missouri. In proportion to the male population, most men and boys with the first name Revan live in Utah, but even there the name is rather special – on average, you would have to ask 136,168 men and boys in Utah for their name before you meet one who answers with Revan.
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 five letters, the name Revan is comparatively short. In fact, 17.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly five letters. Only 7% of all first names are even shorter, while 75% have more than five 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 Revan 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...
