The first name 
Xael

Xael is a male first name. In some cases it's also given to girls.

Xael – a very rare name!

Recently, the name Xael has been given only a handful of times a year and is therefore particularly rare, at least in the US. In recent years, not even one boy in 100,000 has been named Xael. That means that a boy named Xael is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name his whole life.

You won't believe all there is 
to discover about the name
 
Xael

Xael has 4 letters 
and begins with an X

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter X is the rarest initial for boys' names in the US. Only 0.4% of all common boys' names begin with this letter. Incidentally, the second-rarest first letter of boys' names is U, and the most common first letters are J and A.

With four letters, the name Xael is shorter than most other given names. In fact, only 5.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly four letters. Just 1.2% of all first names are even shorter, while 93% consist of more than four 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 X, all other letters occur on average nearly nine times as often. Moreover, of the comparatively few boys' names that start with X, most of them aren't very common either - the most popular one currently is Xavier.

Other names with 
X, a, e and l

If you take all the letters in the name Xael – X, a, e and l – and put them together again, you can form other names, such as Lexa or others.
