Yasir is a male first name.
Yasir is a well-known name in the US, but is still special. It is currently only given to every ten thousandth boy, and therefore ranks at 1277 in the SmartGenius statistics. This means there are 1,276 boys names that are more common, but also tens of thousands that are much rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Yasir.
Yasir is a fairly recent phenomenon. In the past, the name wasn't really on the radar of expectant parents. Then, unexpectedly, Yasir cried out for attention, reaching its peak in popularity at #949 in our SmartGenius statistics in the year 2019. People over 50 probably didn't have classmates named Yasir, for there were many years in which not a single parent chose this first name for their son. Although it also has never been in the top 100 of most popular first names, Yasir seems to have been in vogue for a while, especially since the beginning of the new millennium.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Yasir was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
172 babies were named Yasir in 2022 - that's 1 in 938,523 newborn boys. With this number, the boys' name Yasir ranked 1,089 in our SmartGenius first name statistics in 2022, the most recent year for which records are available.
The odds that a man or boy named Yasir lives in your home state are about the same as betting on heads or tails in a coin toss. This boy’s name is quite popular, but not equally so throughout the entire USA. You can meet boys and men with the name Yasir in 21 states – which is obviously nearly every second of all 50 states in the USA, for example in Arizona, California, Delaware, Florida or Georgia. In relation to the number of residents, the most men and boys with the first name Yasir live in Minnesota – here, one in 12,760 bears this name. In comparison, if we look at all living men and boys in the whole country, only one in 97,788 will turn around if you call his first name Yasir.
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 Yasir 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 Yasir 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...
