The first name 
Kior

Kior is a first name for girls, occasionally also given to boys.

Kior – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a girl named Kior in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Kior in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Kior by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Kior ranks at #6,617. That means there are 6,616 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 Kior.

Kior -
at home only in a few regions of the USA

The first name Kior is a true rarity among all women and girls currently living in the United States – only 54 Americans in total bear this name. And these 54 women called Kior are located in only five states: Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Ohio and Texas. (However, we have to mention that the official statistics provide the frequency of a name per state only if there are at least 5 women with this sepcific name in that state. It is therefore quite possible that there are one or two more states where someone with the name Kior lives without being listed in official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Kior 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 Kior in relation to it’s female population is Georgia. And yet even there, only one in 228,841 women would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Kior.

Kior has 4 letters 
and begins with a K

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 four letters, the name Kior is shorter than most other given names. In fact, only 5.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly four letters. Just 1.2% of all first names are even shorter, while 93% consist of more than four 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.
