Saad is a male first name.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Saad 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 Saad. In the SmartGenius ranking, Saad is #1,858 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 Saad.
In fact, the name Saad hardly fits the trend of first names for boys. Between 1976 and 1999, young parents changed that a bit. For many years, Saad wasn't given at all (or at least less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), but by 1997, the name was more popular than ever. Although the name never ranked higher than position 1,447, 65 parents chose it in 1997 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Saad, you were already special when you were born - and you did your best to become a trendsetter.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Saad was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the rare name Saad a few times. Among all newborn boys, it ranked 2,496, for a total of 45 babies. The name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it didn't appear at all for a many years. As Saad seems to be a bit more popular in the middle of the 20th century, it proves to remain a great rarity in 2022.
The odds of having a man or boy named Saad 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 Saad is registered in 12 states, among which are California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois or Maryland. In proportion to the male population, most men and boys with the first name Saad live in New York, but even there the name is rather special – on average, you would have to ask 34,503 men and boys in New York for their name before you meet one who answers with Saad.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter S is a quite popular first letter for boys’ names. Because: 5.9% of all common boys’ names in the US begin with this letter. By the way, the most common first letters for boys’ names are J, A and D.
With four letters, the name Saad is shorter than most other given names. In fact, only 5.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly four letters. Just 1.2% of all first names are even shorter, while 93% consist of more than four 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.
This means that with 5.9% of all boys' names that begin with an S, this first letter is much more common than all 26 letters on average - and the most popular one of all the boys’ names starting with S is Steven.
If your name is Saad 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...
