Lauro is a male first name.
There’s a good chance that a boy named Lauro in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Lauro in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Lauro by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Lauro ranks at #4,767. That means there are 4,766 more common boys names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Lauro.
While Lauro 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 1933, the name Lauro reached its highest popularity with #1,231 in our ranking of all male first names. As it is so exquisite, mothers and fathers did not always come up with the idea of naming their son Lauro. Perhaps it was because the name was only occasionally in keeping with the spirit of the times - and boys in those decades were given the unusual and beautiful name of Lauro.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Lauro was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, 15 babies were born with the name Lauro. This puts the name in rank 5,043 in the SmartGenius statistics - or in other words, one in 10,761,733 newborns was named Lauro that year. Ever since first names have been registered, Lauro has been and remains marvelously unusual!
The first name Lauro is a true rarity among all men and boys currently living in the United States – only 1,376 Americans in total bear this name. And these 1,376 men are located in only three states: California, Florida and Texas (it should be noted that the official statistics provide the data per state only if there are at least 5 men with this name in the state. So, if your name is Lauro and you live outside the states marked on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics). The state with the most boys and men named Lauro in relation to it’s male population is Texas. And yet even there, only one in 11,550 men would raise his hand if asked whether there was a Lauro present.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter L is neither particularly common nor particularly rare as a first letter for boys' names: 4.1% of all common boys' names in the US begin with this letter. By the way, the most common first letters of boys' names are J and A, while X and U are the least common initials of boys' names.
With five letters, the name Lauro 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.
Thus, it follows that with 4.1% of all boys' names starting with an L, this initial letter occurs about as often as all 26 letters on average. Nevertheless, there are boys' names with L that are quite common, the most common in the U.S. at present is Larry.
If your name is Lauro 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...
So that everyone really understands you when you have to spell the name Lauro, you can simply say:
