Angle is a first name for girls, occasionally also given to boys.
Recently, the name Angle has been given only a handful of times a year and is therefore particularly rare, at least in the US. In recent years, not even one girl in 100,000 has been named Angle. That means that a girl named Angle is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name her whole life. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Angle.
Do you know the feeling when you go to the zoo and the animal that is supposed to be in the enclosure is not there? You know it should to be there, but you've never seen it? It's the same with Angle. Girls named Angle have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it many years ago: Reaching pos. 1,517 Angle ranked higher than ever in 1971. By comparison, there have been 84 years in which the first name Angle has not been given at all (or less than 5 times, which is the minimum number required for a name to be included in the statistics), most recently in 2022. In general, parents name their daughters Angle only once in a blue moon, so girls and women with this name can consider themselves really special!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Angle was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
It is not so easy to find a woman or girl named Angle in the USA. Although the name is not sooooo rare overall, it is only at home in a few selected regions of the USA. In the entire United States there are currently a total of 75 women and girls named Angle, but there are vast areas of the country where not a single person with this name can be found. In fact, the 75 women and girls named Angle live in no more than 7 different states, including for example California, Georgia, Illinois, Mississippi and North Carolina. In all other 42 states, there are no – or, to be precise, less than a handful – women called Angle. (To explain: The official statistics provide the data per state only if at least five women with a specific name live in the same state. So, it’s quite possible that there are one or two states where someone with the name Angle lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Angle and you live outside the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics.). The state with the most girls and women named Angle relative to its female population is Mississippi. And even there, only one in 128,336 women and girls would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Angle.
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 five letters, the name Angle is comparatively short. In fact, 17.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly five letters. Only 7% of all first names are even shorter, while 75% have more than five 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.
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 Angle 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...
