Kory is a male first name. In some cases it's also given to girls.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Kory is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 4 out of 100,000 boys have been named Kory. In the SmartGenius ranking, Kory is #1,931 on the list of most common boys names. In the entire USA, approximately 11,261 people – children, adults and seniors – currently bear the name Kory. That is 0.00 % of all living Americans.
Kory is a phenomenon of Generation X and Y. Previously, the name wasn't really on the radar of expectant parents. Schoolkids of the early 20th century probably didn't have classmates named Kory - until this very name unexpectedly cried out for attention and peaked in popularity at rank number 336 in 1989. Although it has never reached the top 100 list, this boys' name seems to have been in vogue for a while, which makes Kory really in tune with his generation.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Kory was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
75 babies were named Kory in 2022 - that's 1 in 2,603,645 newborn boys. With this number, the boys' name Kory ranked 1,806 in our SmartGenius first name statistics in 2022, the most recent year for which records are available.
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 boys’ names. That’s because 7.9% of all common boys’ names in the US begin with this letter. Only the first letters J, A and D are more common for boys' names.
With four letters, the name Kory 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 7.9% of all boys' 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 boys’ names that begin with a K, Kenneth is the most common.
If your name is Kory 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...
