7 Per Annuam

December 31st, 2008

I have a weird name. It comes up a lot. I like it, personally. It fits me rather well. Anyway, I recently discovered some cool information about it. A timewaster site had a bunch of information that I’d not seen before. Forgive the odd formatting. You’ll get the gist anyway.

DEAS is the 18,096th most popular name in USA (… 18094.caudell , 18095.vernetta , 18096.deas , 18097.malkin , 18098.debbi …). One in every 351,102 Americans are named DEAS and the popularity of name DEAS is 2.85 people per million.

If we compare the popularity statistics of DEAS to USA’s population statistics, we can estimate that as of December.19.2008 01:30 there are 871 people named as DEAS in the United States and the number of DEAS’s are increasing by 7 people every year.

This site reminds me of similar weird things that go around the Japanese net. Sites like Nounai-Meekaa and its English counterpart BrainScannr, etc. Fun. Probably totally useless, but fun. :-)

This was auto-posted. Deas is trying not to be stung by jellyfish while learning to scuba dive in the Philippines right now. He’ll be back in January.

  • Alex - I could have saved you the time with the etymology dictionary. I've tried all of the ones that I've come across (passively), and you're right - I still don't officially have a meaning for my name. And I've gotta say, those arithmetic buddy words are sure flattering, huh? :-)

    Mom - yeah, the weirdest was when I asked that other fourth why he had my name tag and he said it was his...and it WAS his. Weirdness. Ha ha ha.

    871 people named Deas in the U.S. ...and I'm guessing that most of them are related to you ! Remember the family reunions when someone would call out, "Hey, Deas!" and 50 men would turn to look? Wonder where they all live?
  • You probably won't see this until you get back, but:

    I was most interested in the "arithmetic buddies" terms for our names.

    Deas: Calm, Famed
    Alexander: Politic, Amusing, Useful, Informed

    It's interesting that you auto-posted this, because just 3 days ago I posted the following:

    I looked your name up in the name etymology dictionary, but it doesn't exist! The closest name was the Russian Desya or English name Desmond.
