Bree is a first name typically given to girls, but in rare cases also used as a boys name.
Bree is a well-known name in the US, but is still special. It is currently only given to every ten thousandth girl, and therefore ranks at 1,223 in the SmartGenius statistics. This means there are 1,222 girls 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 Bree.
Bree 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 Bree - until this very name unexpectedly cried out for attention and peaked in popularity at rank number 589 in 1977. Although it has never reached the top 100 list, this girls' name seems to have been in vogue for a while, which makes Bree really in tune with her generation.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Bree was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
96 babies were named Bree in 2022 - that's 1 in 1,544,082 newborn girls. With this number, the girls' name Bree ranked 1,814 in our SmartGenius first name statistics in 2022, the most recent year for which records are available.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: 3.2% of all common girls' names in the US begin with a B. This means that B as the first letter for girls' names is neither particularly common nor rare. The most common first letters of girls' names are A, S and M, while U, X and Q are the least common initials of girls' names.
With four letters, the name Bree is shorter than most other given names. In fact, only 5.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly four letters. Just 1.2% of all first names are even shorter, while 93% consist of more than four 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.
Thus, if 3.2% of all girls’ names start with a B, this initial letter is slightly less common than all other letters on average. Nevertheless, there are girls' names with B that are quite common in the U.S., the most common at present is Barbara.
If your name is Bree 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...
