The first name 
Gerrie

Gerrie is a female first name. In very rare cases it is also used for boys.

Gerrie – a very rare name!

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

Gerrie -
once in a blue moon

Do you know the feeling when you go to the zoo and the animal that is supposed to be in the enclosure is not there? You know it should to be there, but you've never seen it? It's the same with Gerrie. Girls named Gerrie have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it many years ago: Reaching pos. 1,143 Gerrie ranked higher than ever in 1942. By comparison, there have been 79 years in which the first name Gerrie has not been given at all (or less than 5 times, which is the minimum number required for a name to be included in the statistics), most recently in 2022. In general, parents name their daughters Gerrie only once in a blue moon, so girls and women with this name can consider themselves really special!

In years where the graph has no value, the name Gerrie was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

Gerrie -
at home only in a few regions of the USA

The first name Gerrie is a true rarity among all women and girls currently living in the United States – only 101 Americans in total bear this name. And these 101 women are located in only four states: California, Illinois, Michigan and Ohio (it should be noted that the official statistics provide the data per state only if there are at least 5 women with this name in the state. So, if your name is Gerrie and you live outside the states marked on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics). The state with the most girls and women named Gerrie in relation to it’s female population is California. And yet even there, only one in 240,531 women would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Gerrie.

Gerrie has 6 letters 
and begins with a G

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter G is quite rare as a first letter for girls' names: only 2.1% of all common girls' names in the US begin with a G. The most common first letters for girls' names are A and S, while U and X are the least common first letters of girls' names.

With six letters, the name Gerrie 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.

This means that if 2.1% of all girls' names begin with a G, this initial letter is less common than the other letters on average. Nevertheless, there are of course some names that begin with a G and are extremely popular, for example Grace, currently the most common girls' name with G.
