The first name 
Zein

Zein is a male first name.

Zein – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a boy named Zein in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Zein in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Zein by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Zein ranks at #4,122. That means there are 4,121 more common boys names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Zein.

Zein -
at home only in a few regions of the USA

The first name Zein is a true rarity among all men and boys currently living in the United States – only 37 Americans in total bear this name. And these 37 men are located in only three states: California, Michigan and New York (it should be noted that the official statistics provide the data per state only if there are at least 5 men with this name in the state. So, if your name is Zein and you live outside the states marked on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics). The state with the most boys and men named Zein in relation to it’s male population is New York. And yet even there, only one in 580,277 men would raise his hand if asked whether there was a Zein present.

Zein has 4 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 four letters, the name Zein 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.

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.

Other names with 
Z, e, i and n

If you take all the letters in the name Zein – Z, e, i and n – and put them together again, you can form other names, such as Izen or others.
