Devorah is a first name for girls.
Devorah 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 1,606 in the SmartGenius statistics. This means there are 1,605 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 Devorah.
While Devorah isn't one of the most popular names of all time, it seems to be attracting more and more parents in the 21st century. In 2021 the name Devorah reached its highest popularity with #1,389 in our ranking of all female first names. Because it's so exquisite, moms and dads haven't always thought of naming their daughter Devorah (or at least not more than four in some years as there must be at least five girls named Devorah to appear in the official statistics). Using these criteria, the first name Devorah has been given to babies in 79 of the 143 years since records began, making girls with this name still very special today.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Devorah was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, 108 babies were born with the name Devorah. This puts the name in rank 1,680 in the SmartGenius statistics - or in other words, one in 1,372,518 newborns was named Devorah that year. Ever since first names have been registered, Devorah has been and remains marvelously unusual!
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 seven letters, the name Devorah has a typical length for first names in the US. In fact, 26% of all common first names consist of exactly seven letters. 52% of all first names are shorter, while 22% have eight 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.
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 Devorah 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...
