Toni is a female first name. In very rare cases it is also used for boys.
Toni 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 1,401 in the SmartGenius statistics. This means there are 1,400 girls names that are more common, but also tens of thousands that are much rarer. In the entire USA, approximately 95,966 people – children, adults and seniors – currently bear the name Toni. That is 0.03 % of all living Americans.
The name Toni may not be in the top rankings of the most popular girls’ names, but it is one of the few female given names, along with only 536 others, that can be found in every single state in the U.S. from Alaska to Florida and from California to New York. Of course, the name occurs more frequently in some states than in others – and Toni is apparently especially popular in Wyoming. Although the name is not one of the top 100 most popular women’s names here either, one in 671 women in Wyoming is called Toni. In total, that’s 287 women who feel addressed when the name Toni is shouted loudly across Wyoming and who ensure that their name makes it to #196 in our SmartGenius ranking of the most common female names in this nice state. If you asked all women in the entire U.S. for their first name, you would hear Toni as the answer a total of 95,890 times. This places Toni at #343 in our SmartGenius statistics for the most popular women’s names in the whole of the USA. This is true for all currently living women across all states and age groups – the recent popularity of the name Toni as a baby name is, of course, a bit different, as you can see from the statistics above.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter T is a quite popular first letter for girls' names. Because: 6.3% of all common girls’ names in the US begin with this letter. By the way, the most common first letters for girls’ names are A, S and M.
With four letters, the name Toni 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.
With 6.3% of all girls' names that begin with a T, this first letter is thus much more common than all 26 letters on average - and the most popular one of all the girls’ names starting with T is Teresa.
If your name is Toni 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...
