Richad is a first name for boys.
Recently, the name Richad 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 Richad. That means that a boy named Richad 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 Richad.
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 to be there, but you've never seen it?

By comparison, there have been 95 years in which the first name Richad 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 2022.

However, we must admit that a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it’s quite possible that there are still a few men and boys called Richad living in one state or another. (If your name is Richad and you live outside of , we’d really appreciate it if you’d let us know so we can refine our statistics even further.) Either way, the name is quite rare. The best chance of meeting a Richad is in New York, as there live more men and boys with this name in relation to the population than in any other state. But even here in New York, only 0.00004% of all male residents are called Richad – that’s just one in 2,553,220! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 5 men going by that name. So, if your name is Richad, chances are you will never meet another man bearing that extraordinary first name.
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.
