The first name 
Shaunak

Shaunak is a male first name.

Shaunak – a very rare name!

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

Shaunak -
at home in California and New Jersey

Meeting a man or boy named Shaunak is something really special. Out of all 50 states, men and boys named Shaunak can be found in only two: California and New Jersey. No other state currently has residents named Shaunak. However, we must admit that a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it’s quite possible that there are still a few men and boys called Shaunak living in one state or another. (If your name is Shaunak and you live outside of California or New Jersey, we’d really appreciate it if you’d let us know so we can refine our statistics even further.) Either way, the name is quite rare. The best chance of meeting a Shaunak is in California, as there live more men and boys with this name in relation to the population than in any other state. But even here in California, only 0.00013% of all male residents are called Shaunak – that’s just one in 742,349! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 27 men going by that name. So, if your name is Shaunak, chances are you will never meet another man bearing that extraordinary first name.

Shaunak has 7 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 seven letters, the name Shaunak has a typical length for first names in the US. In fact, 26% of all common first names consist of exactly seven letters. 52% of all first names are shorter, while 22% have eight letters or more.
