Alberta is a female first name. In very rare cases it is also used for boys.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Alberta in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Alberta in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Alberta by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Alberta ranks at #9,241. That means there are 9,240 more common girls names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. In the entire USA, approximately 57,871 people – children, adults and seniors – currently bear the name Alberta. That is 0.02 % of all living Americans.
Appearing throughout the time in the United States, the name Alberta is a staple in the country: Girls have been given the name Alberta for more than 140 years, according to official U.S. naming statistics. Alberta is therefore one of only 432 girls’ names that have been given every year since 1880. Even beyond that, Alberta is a very special name that peaked in popularity some time ago in the 20th century. Placed 100 Alberta easily made it into the Top 100 of our SmartGenius stats for female first names and has never been more popular than back in 1910.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Alberta was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
As many as 10 babies were named Alberta in the USA in 2022, ranking it #8,408 on the list of the most popular girls' names for that year. However, it experienced its lowest point of popularity in 2009, when it was only ranked at #13,653 of all female names in our SmartGenius statistics – back then only 6 girls were named Alberta.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter A is the most popular first letter for girls’ names. 11.8% of all common girls’ names in the US start with this letter. The second most common first letter in girls' names is S.
With seven letters, the name Alberta has a typical length for first names in the US. In fact, 26% of all common first names consist of exactly seven letters. 52% of all first names are shorter, while 22% have eight 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.
That means that if 11.8% of all girls' names start with an A, this initial letter occurs over three times as often as all other letters on average. And, by the way, of all the girls' names that begin with the letter A, the name Ashley is the most common.
If your name is Alberta 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...
