Theron is a first name typically given to boys, but in rare cases also used as a girls name.

You may not know anyone named Theron, but there’s a good chance you live in the same state as someone with that name. In fact, 37 states are home to men and boys named Theron. (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 men and boys named Theron living in one state or another. If your name is Theron 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 South Carolina, which has the most people named Theron relative to the population, you still have to ask 5,315 men and boys their names before you hear Theron as an answer just once.

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...
