Ugo is a male first name.
Recently, the name Ugo 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 Ugo. That means that a boy named Ugo 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 Ugo.
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 to be there, but you've never seen it? It's the same with Ugo. Boys named Ugo have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it many years ago: Reaching pos. 1,502 Ugo ranked higher than ever in 1921. By comparison, there have been 109 years in which the first name Ugo 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 2022. In general, parents name their sons Ugo only once in a blue moon, so boys and men with this name can consider themselves really special!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Ugo was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
Meeting a man or boy named Ugo is something really special. Out of all 50 states, men and boys named Ugo can be found in only : . No other state currently has residents named Ugo. 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 Ugo living in one state or another. (If your name is Ugo and you live outside of , 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 Ugo is in Massachusetts, as there live more men and boys with this name in relation to the population than in any other state. But even here in Massachusetts, only 0.00046% of all male residents are called Ugo – that’s just one in 215,848! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 19 men going by that name. So, if your name is Ugo, 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 U is very rare as a first letter for boys' names: only 0.4% of all common boys' names in the US begin with this letter. Only the letter X is even rarer as the first letter of boys' names. By the way, the most common first letters for boys’ names are J and A.
With only three letters, the name Ugo is obviously very short. In fact, only 1.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly three letters. Just 0.2% of all first names are even shorter and only have two letters, while nearly 99% of all boys’ and girls’ names use more than three 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.
That means that with 0.4% of all boys' names starting with U, all other letters occur on average more than nine times as often. Moreover, of the comparatively few boys' names that start with U, most of them aren't very common either - the most popular one currently is Uriel.
If your name is Ugo 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 Ugo, you can simply say:
Unicorn
Goat
Orange
