The first name 
Umberto

Umberto is a male first name.

Umberto – a very rare name!

Recently, the name Umberto 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 Umberto. That means that a boy named Umberto 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 Umberto.

Umberto -
at home only in a few regions of the USA

The first name Umberto is a true rarity among all men and boys currently living in the United States – only 198 Americans in total bear this name. And these 198 men are located in only four states: California, Massachusetts, New York and Pennsylvania (it should be noted that the official statistics provide the data per state only if there are at least 5 men with this name in the state. So, if your name is Umberto 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 boys and men named Umberto in relation to it’s male population is New York. And yet even there, only one in 75,095 men would raise his hand if asked whether there was a Umberto present.

Umberto has 7 letters 
and begins with a U

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 seven letters, the name Umberto has a typical length for first names in the US. In fact, 26% of all common first names consist of exactly seven letters. 52% of all first names are shorter, while 22% have eight letters or more. 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.
