Vihan is a first name for boys.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Vihan is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 2 out of 100,000 boys have been named Vihan. In the SmartGenius ranking, Vihan is #2,903 on the list of most common boys names. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Vihan.
In not even one in five states you will find more than 4 men and boys with the name Vihan. This first name might not be completely unknown, but in the entire United States, there are about 105 Americans who bear this name. And these 105 men and boys named Vihan live in no more than 6 different states, including for example California, New Jersey, New York, Texas and Virginia. In the other 43 states, there are either none or less than a handful boys and men with this name (to explain: The official statistics provide the data per state only if at least five men with a specific name live in the same state. So, it’s quite possible that there are one or two states where someone with the name Vihan lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Vihan and you live outside the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics). The state with the most boys and men named Vihan relative to its male population is New Jersey. And even there, only one male in 143,893 would raise his hand if you asked, who is called Vihan.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The V is really rare as a first letter for boys' names: only 1.3% of all common boys' names in the US begin with a V. The most common first letters of boys' names, by the way, are J, A and D, while X, U and Q are the least common initials of boys' names.
With five letters, the name Vihan 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 if 1.3% of all boys' names start with a V, all other letters occur on average three times as often as the V. Nevertheless, individual boys' names with V are quite popular, the most common currently being Vincent.
If your name is Vihan 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...
