Gwenivere is a female first name.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Gwenivere is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 2 out of 100,000 girls have been named Gwenivere. In the SmartGenius ranking, Gwenivere is #3,520 on the list of most common girls names. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Gwenivere.
It is not so easy to find a woman or girl named Gwenivere 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 76 women and girls named Gwenivere, but there are vast areas of the country where not a single person with this name can be found. In fact, the 76 women and girls named Gwenivere live in no more than 8 different states, including for example California, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana and Michigan. In all other 41 states, there are no – or, to be precise, less than a handful – women called Gwenivere. (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 Gwenivere lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Gwenivere 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 Gwenivere relative to its female population is Colorado. And even there, only one in 347,436 women and girls would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Gwenivere.
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 nine letters, the name Gwenivere is relatively long compared to other names. In fact, 5.6% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly nine letters. 92% of all first names are shorter, while not even 2.5% of all boys’ and girls’ names use ten or more letters. 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.
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.
If your name is Gwenivere 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...
