Royden is a first name for boys.
Recently, the name Royden 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 Royden. That means that a boy named Royden 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 Royden.
If your name is Royden your parents may be very proud to let their son swim against the tide: The name Royden has never ranked higher than position 1,059 in our statistics and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea to choose the name Royden for their son. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1900 to give the name more often than usual – only compared to the rest of the time, of course. You probably still won't find many children named Royden because that was several decades ago – unless, of course, you have some very creative parents in your neighborhood.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Royden was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
As in the last century, Royden is still very rare. in 2022, for example, it was not given once in the entire U.S. - or, to be precise, we can only say that it was given four times at morst, because names given less than five times in one year are not included in the official statistics. So if you know someone named Royden who was born in 2022, please let us know - we would be very interested in hearing about it so that we can provide you with even more accurate statistics.
Meeting a man or boy named Royden is something really special. Out of all 50 states, men and boys named Royden can be found in only two: Hawaii and Pennsylvania. No other state currently has residents named Royden. 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 Royden living in one state or another. (If your name is Royden and you live outside of Hawaii or Pennsylvania, 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 Royden is in Hawaii, as there live more men and boys with this name in relation to the population than in any other state. But even here in Hawaii, only 0.00184% of all male residents are called Royden – that’s just one in 54,328! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 27 men going by that name. So, if your name is Royden, 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. 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 Royden 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 Royden 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 Royden, you can simply say:
