Yared is a first name for boys, occasionally also given to girls.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Yared 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 Yared. In the SmartGenius ranking, Yared is #3,537 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 Yared.
Meeting a man or boy named Yared is something really special. Out of all 50 states, men and boys named Yared can be found in only two: California and Texas. No other state currently has residents named Yared. 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 Yared living in one state or another. (If your name is Yared 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 Yared is in California, as there live more men and boys with this name in relation to the population than in any other state. But even here in California, only 0.00039% of all male residents are called Yared – that’s just one in 255,182! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 103 men going by that name. So, if your name is Yared, chances are you will never meet another man bearing that extraordinary first name.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter Y is pretty rare as an initial letter for boys' names: only 1.7% of all common boys' names in the US begin with Y. By the way, the most common first letters of boys' names are J, A and D, while X, U and Q are the least common initials of boys' names.
With five letters, the name Yared 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.
Since 1.7% of all boys’ names begin with a Y, this initial occurs less than half as often as the other letters on average, but Y is by no means the rarest initial. And of course, there are single names with Y that are very popular, currently the most common boys’ name that starts with Y is Yahir.
If your name is Yared 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...
