Zavion is a well-known but special name!

Zavion 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 1390 in the SmartGenius statistics. This means there are 1,389 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 Zavion.

Zavion -
keeping with the times

Zavion is a fairly recent phenomenon. In the past, the name wasn't really on the radar of expectant parents. Then, unexpectedly, Zavion cried out for attention, reaching its peak in popularity at #924 in our SmartGenius statistics in the year 2009. People over 50 probably didn't have classmates named Zavion, 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, Zavion 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 Zavion was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

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 six letters, the name Zavion is of average length. In fact, 28% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly six letters. 24% of all first names are shorter, while 48% have seven letters or more. 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.
