The first name 
Fabienne

Fabienne is a first name for girls.

Fabienne – a very rare name!

Recently, the name Fabienne 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 Fabienne. That means that a girl named Fabienne 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 Fabienne.

Fabienne -
at home in California, Florida and New York

Meeting a woman or girl named Fabienne is something really special. Out of all 50 states, women and girls named Fabienne can be found in only three: California, Florida and New York. No other state currently has residents named Fabienne. However, we must admit that 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 quite possible that there are still a few women and girls called Fabienne living in one state or another. (If your name is Fabienne and you live outside of California, Florida or New York, we’d really appreciate it if you’d let us know so we can refine our statistics even further.) Either way, the name is quite rare. The best chance of meeting a Fabienne is in New York, as there live more women and girls with this name in relation to the population than in any other state. But even here in New York, only 0.00072% of all female residents are called Fabienne – that’s just one in 139,496! And even in all the states, California, Florida and New York, combined there are only a total of 114 women going by that name. So, if your name is Fabienne, chances are you will never meet another woman sharing your beautiful first name.

Fabienne has 8 letters 
and begins with an F

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter F is quite rare as a first letter for girls' names: only 1.2% of all common girls' names in the US begin with an F. The most common first letters of girls' names, by the way, are A, S and M, while U, X and Q are the least common initials of girls' names.

With eight letters, the name Fabienne is long compared to other names. In fact, 14.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly eight letters. 78% of all first names are shorter, while only 8% of all boys’ and girls’ names use nine letters or even more. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long with no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.

That means that if 1.2% of all girls' names begin with an F, this initial letter is significantly less common than the other letters on average. Nevertheless, there are girls' names with F that are quite popular, the most common at present is Frances.
