The first name 
Valerio

Valerio is a male first name.

Valerio – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a boy named Valerio in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Valerio in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Valerio by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Valerio ranks at #6,609. That means there are 6,608 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 Valerio.

Valerio -
at home in California and Texas

Meeting a man or boy named Valerio is something really special. Out of all 50 states, men and boys named Valerio can be found in only two: California and Texas. No other state currently has residents named Valerio. 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 Valerio living in one state or another. (If your name is Valerio and you live outside of California 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 Valerio is in Texas, as there live more men and boys with this name in relation to the population than in any other state. But even here in Texas, only 0.00010% of all male residents are called Valerio – that’s just one in 1,015,473! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 23 men going by that name. So, if your name is Valerio, chances are you will never meet another man bearing that extraordinary first name.

Valerio has 7 letters 
and begins with a V

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The V is really rare as a first letter for boys' names: only 1.3% of all common boys' names in the US begin with a V. The most common first letters of boys' names, by the way, are J, A and D, while X, U and Q are the least common initials of boys' names.

With seven letters, the name Valerio 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 if 1.3% of all boys' names start with a V, all other letters occur on average three times as often as the V. Nevertheless, individual boys' names with V are quite popular, the most common currently being Vincent.
