Sakai is a male first name. In some cases it's also given to girls.
There’s a good chance that a boy named Sakai in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Sakai in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Sakai by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Sakai ranks at #4,719. That means there are 4,718 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 Sakai.
The first name Sakai is a true rarity among all men and boys currently living in the United States – only 37 Americans in total bear this name. And these 37 men are located in only three states: California, Pennsylvania and Texas (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 Sakai 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 Sakai in relation to it’s male population is Pennsylvania. And yet even there, only one in 368,585 men would raise his hand if asked whether there was a Sakai present.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter S is a real popular first letter for given names. That’s because 7.7% of all common frist names in the US begin with this letter. Only the first letters A, J and K are more common for first names.
With five letters, the name Sakai 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.
That means that if 7.7% of all first names start with an S, this initial letter occurs more than twice as often as all 26 letters on average.
If your name is Sakai 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 Sakai, you can simply say:
