Jorie is a first name typically given to girls, but in rare cases also used as a boys name.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Jorie 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 Jorie. In the SmartGenius ranking, Jorie is #4,776 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 Jorie.
In fact, the name Jorie hardly fits the trend of first names for girls. Between 1976 and 1999, young parents changed that a bit. For many years, Jorie wasn't given at all (or at least less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), but by 1991, the name was more popular than ever. Although the name never ranked higher than position 2,434, 46 parents chose it in 1991 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Jorie, you were already special when you were born - and you did your best to become a trendsetter.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Jorie was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the rare name Jorie a few times. Among all newborn girls, it ranked 4,420, for a total of 26 babies. The name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it didn't appear at all for a many years. As Jorie seems to be a bit more popular in the middle of the 20th century, it proves to remain a great rarity in 2022.
Meeting a woman or girl named Jorie is something really special. Out of all 50 states, women and girls named Jorie can be found in only two: Illinois and Texas. No other state currently has residents named Jorie. 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 Jorie living in one state or another (if your name is Jorie and you live outside of Illinois or Texas, 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 Jorie is in Illinois, as there live more women and girls with this name in relation to the population than in any other state. But even here in Illinois, only 0.00490% of all female residents are named Jorie – that’s just one in 20,401! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 376 women with that name. So, if your name is Jorie, chances are you will never meet another woman with your beautiful first name.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter J is a particularly popular initial letter for girls' names. That’s because 6.8% of all common girls’ names in the US begin with this letter. By the way, the most common first letters for girls’ names are A, S and M.
With five letters, the name Jorie is comparatively short. In fact, 17.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly five letters. Only 7% of all first names are even shorter, while 75% have more than five letters. 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 with 6.8% of all girls' names that begin with the letter J, this first letter is much more common than the other letters on average. And Jennifer is the girls' name starting with J, which is the most common of all.
If your name is Jorie 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...
