Kaori 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 Kaori is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 3 out of 100,000 girls have been named Kaori. In the SmartGenius ranking, Kaori is #3,015 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 Kaori.
In fact, the name Kaori did not fit the trend of the last century. Young parents in the 2000s began to change that a bit. After several years of not being given at all (or less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), Kaori seemed to be more popular than ever in 2022. Although the name never ranked higher than #1,702, 106 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Kaori, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Kaori was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
The odds of living in the same statae as someone named Kaori are about the same as meeting someone with blue eyes in the entire country – both odds are about 25 to 30 %. More precisely, the first name Kaori is registered in 11 states, among which are California, Florida, Georgia, Maryland or New Jersey. In proportion to the female population, most women and girls with the first name Kaori live in California, and even there the name is rather special – only one in 106,521 would turn around if you called the name Kaori across California.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter K is a real popular first letter for girls' names. That’s because 7.5% of all common girls’ names in the US begin with this letter. Only the first letters A, S and M are more common for girls' names.
With five letters, the name Kaori 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.
That means that if 7.5% of all girls' names start with a K, this initial letter occurs more than twice as often as all 26 letters on average. Interesting detail: of all the girls' names that begin with a K, Karen is the most common.
If your name is Kaori 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...
