Kit is a unisex first name. It is given slightly more often to boys than to girls.
Few children have been named Kit in recent years. Although it is used several times each year, only approximately 4 out of 100,000 children are currently called Kit. Whether you’re a boy or a girl, you will most likely be the only person with the special name Kit at your school. In our SmartGenius ranking, Kit is number *** on the list of most common first names.
While Kit is not one of the most popular names of all time, it seems to have attracted parents especially more than 50 years ago in the last century. In 1955, the name Kit reached its highest popularity with #1,450 in our ranking of all first names. As it is so exquisite, mothers and fathers did not always come up with the idea of naming their baby Kit. Perhaps it was because the name was only occasionally in keeping with the spirit of the times - and children in those decades were given the unusual and beautiful name of Kit.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Kit was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, 303 babies were born with the name Kit. This puts the name in rank 1,699 in the SmartGenius statistics - or in other words, one in 1,091,095 newborns was named Kit that year. Ever since first names have been registered, Kit has been and remains marvelously unusual!
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter K is a quite popular first letter for given names. That’s because 7.7% of all common first names in the US begin with this letter. Only the initial letters A and J are more common for first names.
With only three letters, the name Kit is obviously very short. In fact, only 1.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly three letters. Just 0.2% of all first names are even shorter and only have two letters, while nearly 99% of all boys’ and girls’ names use more than three 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.
Therefore: As 7.7% of all first names start with a K, this initial letter occurs more than twice as often as all 26 letters on average.
If your name is Kit 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...
