Taquan is a male first name.
There’s a good chance that a boy named Taquan in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Taquan in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Taquan by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Taquan ranks at #6,609. That means there are 6,608 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 Taquan.
In fact, the name Taquan hardly fits the trend of first names for boys. Between 1976 and 1999, young parents changed that a bit. For many years, Taquan wasn't given at all (or at least less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), but by 1994, the name was more popular than ever. Although the name never ranked higher than position 1,194, 80 parents chose it in 1994 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Taquan, you were already special when you were born - and you did your best to become a trendsetter.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Taquan was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the rare name Taquan a few times. Among all newborn boys, it ranked 8,311, for a total of 7 babies. The name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it didn't appear at all for a many years. As Taquan seems to be a bit more popular in the middle of the 20th century, it proves to remain a great rarity in 2022.
The odds of having a man or boy named Taquan in your home state are about the same as the chance for a white Christmas in New York City – in both cases they are less than 30%. More precisely, the first name Taquan is registered in 10 states, among which are Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland or New Jersey. In proportion to the male population, most men and boys with the first name Taquan live in Virginia, but even there the name is rather special – on average, you would have to ask 42,732 men and boys in Virginia for their name before you meet one who answers with Taquan.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter T is a particularly popular initial letter for boys’ names. That’s because 6.3% 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.

In fact, 28% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly six letters. 24% of all first names are shorter, while 48% have seven 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.
With 6.3% of all boys' names that begin with the letter T, this first letter is much more common than the other letters on average. And Thomas is the boys’ name starting with T, which is the most common of all.
If your name is Taquan 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...
