The first name 
Kirstin

Kirstin is a first name for girls.

Kirstin – one in 100,000!

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

Kirstin -
a Dinosaur?

Is the name Kirstin a dinosaur? We would say: It's classic! Parents chose this name most often in 1990, when it ranked #543 with 413 newborn girls receiving this special first name. In times of emerging digitalization, it thus experienced its last peak. Since Kirstin is both classic and fancy at the same time, people didn't always come up with the idea of giving their daughter this unusual name. So, if your name is Kirstin, feel classic and not old-fashioned, because after all, you stand out with your name these days!

In years where the graph has no value, the name Kirstin was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

special, but at home in many states

You may not know anyone named Kirstin, but there’s a good chance you live in the same state as someone with that name. In fact, 36 states are home to women and girls named Kirstin. (To be fair, 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 entirely possible that there are still a few women and girls named Kirstin living in one state or another. If your name is Kirstin and you live outside of the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can refine our statistics even further). And while the first name is present in many states, it is still not one of the popular ones.

Kirstin has 7 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 seven letters, the name Kirstin 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.

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.
