Hubbard is a first name for boys.
Recently, the name Hubbard 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 boy in 100,000 has been named Hubbard. That means that a boy named Hubbard is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name his 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 Hubbard.
Is the name Hubbard a dinosaur? We would say: It's classic! Parents chose this name most often in 1889 – at that time, it landed at position 590 with 9 newborn boys receiving this special first name. This was the last peak in a world without airplanes, computers, rock music, or even television. Because Hubbard is both classic and fancy at the same time, people didn't always think to give their child this unusual name. So, if your name is Hubbard, feel classic and not old-fashioned, because after all, your name is what makes you stand out these days!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Hubbard 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 Hubbard born in 2022, please get in touch with us. Because we could not find any newborn boys 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 Hubbard born in 2022, that seems like a real fluke!
The first name Hubbard is a true rarity among all men and boys currently living in the United States – only 64 Americans in total bear this name. And these 64 men are located in only three states: Alabama, Texas and Virginia (it should be noted that the official statistics provide the data per state only if there are at least 5 men with this name in the state. So, if your name is Hubbard 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 boys and men named Hubbard in relation to it’s male population is Alabama. And yet even there, only one in 108,155 men would raise his hand if asked whether there was a Hubbard present.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter H is not particularly common as a first letter for boys' names: only 2.9% of all common boys' names in the US begin with an H. The most common first letters for boys' names are J and A, while X and U are the least common first letters of boys' names.
With seven letters, the name Hubbard 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.
This means that if 2.9% of all boys' names begin with an H, this initial letter is less common than the other letters on average. Nevertheless, there are of course some names that begin with H and are extremely popular, for example Henry, currently the most common boys’ name with H.
If your name is Hubbard 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 Hubbard, you can simply say:
