Rihan is a first name for boys, occasionally also given to girls.
There’s a good chance that a boy named Rihan in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Rihan in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Rihan by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Rihan ranks at #3,771. That means there are 3,770 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 Rihan.
The first name Rihan is a true rarity among all men and boys currently living in the United States – only 34 Americans in total bear this name. And these 34 men are located in only four states: California, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania (it should be noted that the official statistics provide the data per state only if there are at least 5 men with this name in the state. So, if your name is Rihan and you live outside the states marked on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics). The state with the most boys and men named Rihan in relation to it’s male population is New Jersey. And yet even there, only one in 354,198 men would raise his hand if asked whether there was a Rihan present.
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 Rihan 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 Rihan 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...
So that everyone really understands you when you have to spell the name Rihan, you can simply say:
Rocket
Igloo
Hat
Apple
Nut
