The first name 
Kristyl

Kristyl is a first name for girls.

Kristyl – a very rare name!

Recently, the name Kristyl has been given only a handful of times a year and is therefore particularly rare, at least in the US. In recent years, not even one girl in 100,000 has been named Kristyl. That means that a girl named Kristyl is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name her whole life. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Kristyl.

Kristyl -
at home in California and Texas

Meeting a woman or girl named Kristyl is something really special. Out of all 50 states, women and girls named Kristyl can be found in only two: California and Texas. No other state currently has residents named Kristyl. 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 Kristyl living in one state or another (if your name is Kristyl and you live outside of California or Texas, 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 Kristyl 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 0.00005% of all female residents are named Kristyl – that’s just one in 1,867,587! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 12 women with that name. So, if your name is Kristyl, chances are you will never meet another woman with your beautiful first name.

Kristyl 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 Kristyl 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.
