Debi is a female first name.
Recently, the name Debi 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 Debi. That means that a girl named Debi 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 Debi.
Is the name Debi a dinosaur? We would say: It's classic! Chosen by 503 parents, the name was given most frequently in 1958 – at that time, it ranked #393. It thus experienced its last peak in a world without internet and cell phones, even before the first personal computer was built. (Do you remember? Those were those big boxes that couldn't even begin to do what a simple robot vacuum cleaner can do today). Since Debi is both classic and fancy at the same time, people didn't always come up with the idea of giving their child this unusual name. So, if your name is Debi, feel classic and not old-fashioned, because after all, you stand out with your name these days!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Debi was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
If you are reading this and you know someone with the name Debi born in 2022, please get in touch with us. Because we could not find any newborn girls with this name for the said year. Note: The official statistics only include names given at least 5 times in a year. So, if you know a Debi born in 2022, that seems like a real fluke!
You may not know anyone named Debi, but there’s a good chance you live in the same state as someone with that name. In fact, 36 states are home to women and girls named Debi. (To be fair, a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it’s entirely possible that there are still a few women and girls named Debi living in one state or another. If your name is Debi and you live outside of the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can refine our statistics even further). And while the first name is present in many states, it is still not one of the popular ones. In Oregon, which has the most people named Debi relative to the population, you still have to ask 17,192 women and girls their names before you hear Debi as an answer just once.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter D is quite common as an initial letter for girls' names. To be precise, 5.6% of all girls' names in the US begin with this letter. The most common first letters of girls' names, by the way, are A, S and M.
With four letters, the name Debi 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.
Therefore: As 5.6% of all girls' names start with D, this initial letter occurs much more often than all 26 letters on average. And maybe interesting to know: of all the names that begin with a D, Dorothy is the most common.
If your name is Debi 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 Debi, you can simply say:
