Bronte is a first name typically given to girls, but in rare cases also used as a boys name.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Bronte in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Bronte in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Bronte by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Bronte ranks at #8,980. That means there are 8,979 more common girls names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Bronte.
In fact, the name Bronte hardly fits the trend of first names for girls. Between 1976 and 1999, young parents changed that a bit. For many years, Bronte wasn't given at all (or at least less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), but by 1992, the name was more popular than ever. Although the name never ranked higher than position 1,215, 131 parents chose it in 1992 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Bronte, you were already special when you were born - and you did your best to become a trendsetter.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Bronte was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the rare name Bronte a few times. Among all newborn girls, it ranked 10,613, for a total of 7 babies. The name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it didn't appear at all for a many years. As Bronte seems to be a bit more popular in the middle of the 20th century, it proves to remain a great rarity in 2022.
It is not so easy to find a woman or girl named Bronte 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 191 women and girls named Bronte, but there are vast areas of the country where not a single person with this name can be found. In fact, the 191 women and girls named Bronte live in no more than 9 different states, including for example California, Colorado, Hawaii, Michigan and New York. In all other 40 states, there are no – or, to be precise, less than a handful – women called Bronte. (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 Bronte lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Bronte 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 Bronte relative to its female population is Hawaii. And even there, only one in 88,259 women and girls would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Bronte.
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 six letters, the name Bronte is of average length. In fact, 28% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly six letters. 24% of all first names are shorter, while 48% have seven 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.
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 Bronte 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...
So that everyone really understands you when you have to spell the name Bronte, you can simply say:
