Nour is a female first name. In some cases it's also given to boys.
Nour is a well-known name in the US, but is still special. It is currently only given to every ten thousandth girl, and therefore ranks at 1,963 in the SmartGenius statistics. This means there are 1,962 girls names that are more common, but also tens of thousands that are much rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Nour.
In fact, the name Nour did not fit the trend of the last century. Young parents in the 2000s began to change that a bit. After several years of not being given at all (or less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), Nour seemed to be more popular than ever in 2022. Although the name never ranked higher than #1,499, 127 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Nour, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Nour was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
The odds of living in the same statae as someone named Nour are about the same as meeting someone with blue eyes in the entire country – both odds are about 25 to 30 %. More precisely, the first name Nour is registered in 14 states, among which are California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia or Illinois. In proportion to the female population, most women and girls with the first name Nour live in Michigan, and even there the name is rather special – only one in 16,832 would turn around if you called the name Nour across Michigan.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter N is neither particularly common nor particularly rare as a first letter for girls' names: 4.1% of all common girls' names in the US begin with this letter. By the way, the most common first letters of girls' names are A and S, while X and U are the least common initials of girls' names.
With four letters, the name Nour 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 girls' names starting with an N, this initial letter occurs about as often as all 26 letters on average. Nevertheless, there are girls' names with N that are quite common, the most common in the U.S. at present is Nancy.
If your name is Nour 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...
