Shawnee is a female first name. In very rare cases it is also used for boys.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Shawnee in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Shawnee in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Shawnee by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Shawnee ranks at #9,127. That means there are 9,126 more common girls 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 Shawnee.
You may not know anyone named Shawnee, but there’s a good chance you live in the same state as someone with that name. In fact, 25 states are home to women and girls named Shawnee. (To be fair, 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 entirely possible that there are still a few women and girls named Shawnee living in one state or another. If your name is Shawnee and you live outside of the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can refine our statistics even further). And while the first name is present in many states, it is still not one of the popular ones. In Utah, which has the most people named Shawnee relative to the population, you still have to ask 16,450 women and girls their names before you hear Shawnee as an answer just once.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter S is a very popular first letter for girls' names. That’s because 9.3% of all common girls’ names in the US begin with this letter. Only the first letter A is more common for girls' names.
With seven letters, the name Shawnee 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. 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 9.3% of all girls' names start with an S, this initial letter occurs nearly three times as often as all other letters on average. And by the way: Of all the girls' names that start with an S, Susan is the most common.
If your name is Shawnee 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...
