Ruthy is a first name for girls.
Recently, the name Ruthy 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 girl in 100,000 has been named Ruthy. That means that a girl named Ruthy is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name her 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 Ruthy.
If your name is Ruthy your parents may be very proud to let their daughter swim against the tide: The name Ruthy never ranked higher than position 1,895 in our statistics, and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea of naming their daughter Ruthy. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1935 to choose the name more often than usual - only compared to the rest of the time, of course. You probably still won't find many children named Ruthy because that was several decades ago - unless, of course, you have some very creative parents in the neighborhood.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Ruthy was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
As in the last century, Ruthy still proves to be exceptional. Even in 2022, the name was given very rarely - in fact, only 8 times in the entire U.S. So, a Ruthy from 2022 will need very good binoculars to spot the next namesake of the same age.
The first name Ruthy is a true rarity among all women and girls currently living in the United States – only 38 Americans in total bear this name. And these 38 women are located in only four states: California, New Jersey, New York and Texas (it should be noted that the official statistics provide the data per state only if there are at least 5 women with this name in the state. So, if your name is Ruthy 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 girls and women named Ruthy in relation to it’s female population is New Jersey. And yet even there, only one in 701,441 women would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Ruthy.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter R 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. 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 five letters, the name Ruthy 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 if 4.1% of all girls' names start with an R, this initial letter occurs about as often as all 26 letters on average. And maybe interesting to know: Rebecca is the girls’ name starting with R, which is the most common of all.
If your name is Ruthy 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 Ruthy, you can simply say:
