Tabor is a male first name. In some cases it's also given to girls.
There’s a good chance that a boy named Tabor in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Tabor in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Tabor by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Tabor 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 Tabor.
In fact, the name Tabor hardly fits the trend of first names for boys. Between 1976 and 1999, young parents changed that a bit. For many years, Tabor wasn't given at all (or at least less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), but by 1998, the name was more popular than ever. Although the name never ranked higher than position 2,046, 40 parents chose it in 1998 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Tabor, you were already special when you were born - and you did your best to become a trendsetter.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Tabor was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the rare name Tabor a few times. Among all newborn boys, it ranked 6,627, for a total of 10 babies. The name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it didn't appear at all for a many years. As Tabor seems to be a bit more popular in the middle of the 20th century, it proves to remain a great rarity in 2022.
Meeting a man or boy named Tabor is something really special. Out of all 50 states, men and boys named Tabor can be found in only two: Oregon and Texas. No other state currently has residents named Tabor. 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 Tabor living in one state or another. (If your name is Tabor and you live outside of Oregon or Texas, 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 Tabor is in Oregon, as there live more men and boys with this name in relation to the population than in any other state. But even here in Oregon, only 0.00184% of all male residents are called Tabor – that’s just one in 54,489! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 34 men going by that name. So, if your name is Tabor, 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 T is a particularly popular initial letter for boys’ names. That’s because 6.3% of all common boys’ names in the US begin with this letter. By the way, the most common first letters for boys’ names are J, A and D.
With five letters, the name Tabor 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.
With 6.3% of all boys' names that begin with the letter T, this first letter is much more common than the other letters on average. And Thomas is the boys’ name starting with T, which is the most common of all.
If your name is Tabor 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 Tabor, you can simply say:

Apple
Butterfly
