Shenouda is a male first name.
Recently, the name Shenouda 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 Shenouda. That means that a boy named Shenouda 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 Shenouda.
Meeting a man or boy named Shenouda is something really special. Out of all 50 states, men and boys named Shenouda can be found in only two: New Jersey and Tennessee. No other state currently has residents named Shenouda. 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 Shenouda living in one state or another. (If your name is Shenouda and you live outside of New Jersey or Tennessee, 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 Shenouda is in New Jersey, as there live more men and boys with this name in relation to the population than in any other state. But even here in New Jersey, only 0.00035% of all male residents are called Shenouda – that’s just one in 287,786! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 22 men going by that name. So, if your name is Shenouda, chances are you will never meet another man bearing that extraordinary first name.
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 Shenouda 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.
If your name is Shenouda 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 Shenouda, you can simply say:
Sun
Hat
Elephant
Nut
Orange
Unicorn
Dinosaur
Apple
