Arbor is a unisex first name. It is given slightly more often to girls than to boys.
At least in the US, the name Arbor is extremely rare. Recently, only a handful of babies has been named Arbor each year. That means it’s extremely unlikely that a boy or girl called Arbor will meet someone with the same name. So, Arbor is a very special name!
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 given names. 10.3% of all common first names in the US start with this letter. The second most common initial letter in first names is J.
With five letters, the name Arbor 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 10.3% of all first names start with an A, this initial letter occurs nearly three times as often as all other letters on average.
