Kyrie is a fairly recent phenomenon. In the past, the name wasn't really on the radar of expectant parents. Then, unexpectedly, Kyrie cried out for attention, reaching its peak in popularity at #199 in our SmartGenius statistics in the year 2017. People over 50 probably didn't have classmates named Kyrie, for there were many years in which not a single parent chose this first name for their son. Although it also has never been in the top 100 of most popular first names, Kyrie seems to have been in vogue for a while, especially since the beginning of the new millennium.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Kyrie was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
1,681 babies were named Kyrie in 2022 - that's 1 in 101,782 newborn boys. With this number, the boys' name Kyrie ranked 214 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 five letters, the name Kyrie is comparatively short. In fact, 17.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly five letters. Only 7% of all first names are even shorter, while 75% have more than five 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 Kyrie 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...
