Kesley is a first name for girls, occasionally also given to boys.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Kesley in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Kesley in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Kesley by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Kesley ranks at #8,192. That means there are 8,191 more common girls names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Kesley.
In fact, the name Kesley hardly fits the trend of first names for girls. Between 1976 and 1999, young parents changed that a bit. For many years, Kesley 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 1990, the name was more popular than ever. Although the name never ranked higher than position 2,593, 41 parents chose it in 1990 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Kesley, 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 Kesley was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the rare name Kesley a few times. Among all newborn girls, it ranked 8,408, for a total of 10 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 Kesley 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 Kesley is something really special. Out of all 50 states, women and girls named Kesley can be found in only : . No other state currently has residents named Kesley. 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 Kesley living in one state or another (if your name is Kesley and you live outside of , 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 Kesley is in Texas, as there live more women and girls with this name in relation to the population than in any other state. But even here in Texas, only 0.00004% of all female residents are named Kesley – that’s just one in 2,241,104! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 5 women with that name. So, if your name is Kesley, 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 K is a real popular first letter for girls' names.

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.
