Leor is a male first name. In some cases it's also given to girls.
Recently, the name Leor 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 boy in 100,000 has been named Leor. That means that a boy named Leor is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name his 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 Leor.
Do you know the feeling when you go to the zoo and the animal that is supposed to be in the enclosure is not there? You know it should be there, but you've never seen it? It's the same with Leor. Boys named Leor have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it a few years ago: At No. 3,151 Leor ranked higher than ever before in 1995. By comparison, there have been 108 years in which the first name Leor has not been given at all (or less than 5 times, which is the minimum number required for a name to be included in the statistics), most recently in 2020. In general, parents name their sons Leor only once in a blue moon, so boys and men with this name can consider themselves exceptional!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Leor was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, Leor continues to be a precious jewel: 12 newborns were named Leor that year, ranking #5,849 in the SmartGenius name statistics. If your baby's name is Leor, you must have a flair for beautiful and rare names: Congratulations, your child is sure to feel unique.
Meeting a man or boy named Leor is something really special. Out of all 50 states, men and boys named Leor can be found in only two: California and New York. No other state currently has residents named Leor. 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 men and boys called Leor living in one state or another. (If your name is Leor and you live outside of California or New York, 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 Leor is in New York, as there live more men and boys with this name in relation to the population than in any other state. But even here in New York, only 0.00025% of all male residents are called Leor – that’s just one in 398,941! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 42 men going by that name. So, if your name is Leor, chances are you will never meet another man bearing that extraordinary first name.
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 four letters, the name Leor 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.
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 Leor 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 Leor, you can simply say:

Elephant
Orange
