The first name 
Serafino

Serafino is a male first name.

Serafino – a very rare name!

Recently, the name Serafino 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 Serafino. That means that a boy named Serafino 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 Serafino.

Serafino -
at home only in a few regions of the USA

The first name Serafino is a true rarity among all men and boys currently living in the United States – only 52 Americans in total bear this name. And these 52 men are located in only three states: New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania (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 Serafino 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 Serafino in relation to it’s male population is New York. And yet even there, only one in 311,368 men would raise his hand if asked whether there was a Serafino present.

Serafino has 8 letters 
and begins with an S

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 eight letters, the name Serafino is long compared to other names. In fact, 14.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly eight letters. 78% of all first names are shorter, while only 8% of all boys’ and girls’ names use nine letters or even more. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long with 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.
