The first name 
Urias

Urias is a male first name.

Urias – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a boy named Urias in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Urias in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Urias by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Urias ranks at #5,649. That means there are 5,648 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 Urias.

Urias -
at home in California and Texas

Meeting a man or boy named Urias is something really special. Out of all 50 states, men and boys named Urias can be found in only two: California and Texas. No other state currently has residents named Urias. 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 Urias living in one state or another. (If your name is Urias and you live outside of California or Texas, 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 Urias is in Texas, as there live more men and boys with this name in relation to the population than in any other state. But even here in Texas, only 0.00008% of all male residents are called Urias – that’s just one in 1,218,568! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 20 men going by that name. So, if your name is Urias, chances are you will never meet another man bearing that extraordinary first name.

Urias has 5 letters 
and begins with a U

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter U is very rare as a first letter for boys' names: only 0.4% of all common boys' names in the US begin with this letter. Only the letter X is even rarer as the first letter of boys' names. By the way, the most common first letters for boys’ names are J and A.

With five letters, the name Urias is comparatively short. In fact, 17.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly five letters. Only 7% of all first names are even shorter, while 75% have more than five letters. 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 with 0.4% of all boys' names starting with U, all other letters occur on average more than nine times as often. Moreover, of the comparatively few boys' names that start with U, most of them aren't very common either - the most popular one currently is Uriel.
