Sahil is a first name for boys.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Sahil 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 Sahil. In the SmartGenius ranking, Sahil is #1,838 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 Sahil.
Sahil is a fairly recent phenomenon. In the past, the name wasn't really on the radar of expectant parents. Then, unexpectedly, Sahil cried out for attention, reaching its peak in popularity at #956 in our SmartGenius statistics in the year 2001. People over 50 probably didn't have classmates named Sahil, for there were many years in which not a single parent chose this first name for their son. Although it also has never been in the top 100 of most popular first names, Sahil seems to have been in vogue for a while, especially since the beginning of the new millennium.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Sahil was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
70 babies were named Sahil in 2022 - that's 1 in 2,306,086 newborn boys. With this number, the boys' name Sahil ranked 1,894 in our SmartGenius first name statistics in 2022, the most recent year for which records are available.
The odds of having a man or boy named Sahil 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 Sahil is registered in 14 states, among which are California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois or Maryland. In proportion to the male population, most men and boys with the first name Sahil live in New Jersey, but even there the name is rather special – on average, you would have to ask 17,442 men and boys in New Jersey for their name before you meet one who answers with Sahil.
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 five letters, the name Sahil 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.
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 Sahil 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...
