Wendelin is a name for all genders, somewhat more commonly used for girls.
At least in the US, the name Wendelin is extremely rare. Recently, only a handful of babies has been named Wendelin each year. That means it’s extremely unlikely that a boy or girl called Wendelin will meet someone with the same name. So, Wendelin is a very special name!
Do you know the feeling when you go to the zoo and the animal that is supposed to be in the enclosure is not there? You know it should to be there, but you've never seen it? It's the same with Wendelin. Kids called Wendelin have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it many years ago: Reaching pos. 3,142 Wendelin ranked higher than ever in 1954. By comparison, there have been 94 years in which the first name Wendelin has not been given at all (or less than 5 times, which is the minimum number required for a name to be included in the statistics), most recently in 2022. In general, parents name their babies Wendelin only once in a blue moon, so, if your name is Wendelin you can consider yourself truly special!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Wendelin was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The W is really rare as a first letter for given names: only 1.1% of all common first names in the US begin with a W. The most common first letters of given names, by the way, are A, J and K, while U, X and Q are the least common initials of first names.
With eight letters, the name Wendelin 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.
That means that if 1.1% of all first names start with a W, all other letters occur on average more than three times as often as the W.
If your name is Wendelin 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 Wendelin, you can simply say:
