The first name 
Serge

Serge is a first name for boys.

Serge – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a boy named Serge in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Serge in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Serge by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Serge ranks at #6,130. That means there are 6,129 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 Serge.

Serge -
swimming against the tide

If your name is Serge your parents may be very proud to let their son swim against the tide: The name Serge has never ranked higher than position 1,190 in our statistics and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea to choose the name Serge for their son. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1972 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 Serge 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 Serge was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

at home only in a few regions of the USA

The first name Serge is a true rarity among all men and boys currently living in the United States – only 471 Americans in total bear this name. And these 471 men are located in only four states: California, Florida, New Jersey and New York (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 Serge 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 Serge in relation to it’s male population is New York. And yet even there, only one in 36,684 men would raise his hand if asked whether there was a Serge present.

Serge has 5 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 five letters, the name Serge 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.
