The first name 
Rowyn

Rowyn is a first name for girls, occasionally also given to boys.

Rowyn is a well-known but special name!

Rowyn is a well-known name in the US, but is still special. It is currently only given to every ten thousandth girl, and therefore ranks at 1,210 in the SmartGenius statistics. This means there are 1,209 girls names that are more common, but also tens of thousands that are much rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Rowyn.

Rowyn -
special, but at home in many states

You may not know anyone named Rowyn, but there’s a good chance you live in the same state as someone with that name. In fact, 33 states are home to women and girls named Rowyn. (To be fair, 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 entirely possible that there are still a few women and girls named Rowyn living in one state or another. If your name is Rowyn and you live outside of the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can refine our statistics even further). And while the first name is present in many states, it is still not one of the popular ones. In Nebraska, which has the most people named Rowyn relative to the population, you still have to ask 25,165 women and girls their names before you hear Rowyn as an answer just once.

Rowyn has 5 letters 
and begins with an R

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter R is neither particularly common nor particularly rare as a first letter for girls' names: 4.1% of all common girls' names in the US begin with this letter. The most common first letters of girls' names are A and S, while X and U are the least common initials of girls' names.

With five letters, the name Rowyn 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.

Thus, it follows that if 4.1% of all girls' names start with an R, this initial letter occurs about as often as all 26 letters on average. And maybe interesting to know: Rebecca is the girls’ name starting with R, which is the most common of all.
