Lark is a first name for girls, occasionally also given to boys.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Lark is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 3 out of 100,000 girls have been named Lark. In the SmartGenius ranking, Lark is #2,992 on the list of most common girls names. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Lark.
It is not so easy to find a woman or girl named Lark in the USA. Although the name is not sooooo rare overall, it is only at home in a few selected regions of the USA. In the entire United States there are currently a total of 236 women and girls named Lark, but there are vast areas of the country where not a single person with this name can be found. In fact, the 236 women and girls named Lark live in no more than 7 different states, including for example California, Colorado, Illinois, New York and Texas. In all other 42 states, there are no – or, to be precise, less than a handful – women called Lark. (To explain: The official statistics provide the data per state only if at least five women with a specific name live in the same state. So, it’s quite possible that there are one or two states where someone with the name Lark lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Lark and you live outside the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics.). The state with the most girls and women named Lark relative to its female population is California. And even there, only one in 93,792 women and girls would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Lark.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter L is a particularly popular initial letter for girls' names – 6.8% of all common girls’ names in the US begin with this letter. By the way, the most common first letters for girls’ names are A and S.
With four letters, the name Lark 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 with 6.8% of all girls' names that begin with an L, this first letter is much more common than the other letters on average. If you are now wondering which girls' name with L is the most common... the answer is Linda.
If your name is Lark 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...
