Alexandre is a male first name. In very rare cases it is also used for girls.
Alexandre 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 1611 in the SmartGenius statistics. This means there are 1,610 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 Alexandre.
Alexandre is a phenomenon of Generation X and Y. Previously, the name wasn't really on the radar of expectant parents. Schoolkids of the early 20th century probably didn't have classmates named Alexandre - until this very name unexpectedly cried out for attention and peaked in popularity at rank number 786 in 1994. Although it has never reached the top 100 list, this boys' name seems to have been in vogue for a while, which makes Alexandre really in tune with his generation.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Alexandre was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
52 babies were named Alexandre in 2022 - that's 1 in 3,104,346 newborn boys. With this number, the boys' name Alexandre ranked 2,293 in our SmartGenius first name statistics in 2022, the most recent year for which records are available.
The odds that a man or boy named Alexandre lives in your home state are about the same as betting on heads or tails in a coin toss. This boy’s name is quite popular, but not equally so throughout the entire USA. You can meet boys and men with the name Alexandre in 21 states – which is obviously nearly every second of all 50 states in the USA, for example in Arizona, California, Connecticut, Florida or Georgia. In relation to the number of residents, the most men and boys with the first name Alexandre live in Florida – here, one in 13,329 bears this name. In comparison, if we look at all living men and boys in the whole country, only one in 55,549 will turn around if you call his first name Alexandre.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter A is a very popular first letter for boys’ names. That’s because 9.0% of all common boys’ names in the US begin with this letter. Only the first letter J is more common for boys' names.
With nine letters, the name Alexandre is relatively long compared to other names. In fact, 5.6% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly nine letters. 92% of all first names are shorter, while not even 2.5% of all boys’ and girls’ names use ten or more letters. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long with no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.
That means that if 9.0% of all boys' names start with an A, this initial letter occurs nearly three times as often as all other letters on average. And by the way: Of all the boys' names that start with an A, Anthony is the most common.
If your name is Alexandre 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...
