Zamir -
keeping with the times

Zamir is a fairly recent phenomenon. In the past, the name wasn't really on the radar of expectant parents. Then, unexpectedly, Zamir cried out for attention, reaching its peak in popularity at #776 in our SmartGenius statistics in the year 2022. People over 50 probably didn't have classmates named Zamir, 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, Zamir 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 Zamir was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

Zamir has 5 letters 
and begins with a Z

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter Z is quite rare as a first letter for boys' names: only 2.4% of all common boys' names in the US begin with Z. 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 Zamir 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.

Therefore: As 2.4% of all boys' names begin with a Z, this initial letter is less common than the other letters on average. Interesting detail: of all the names that begin with Z, Zachary is the most common.
