Wilberto is a first name for boys.
Recently, the name Wilberto 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 Wilberto. That means that a boy named Wilberto 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 Wilberto.
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 Wilberto. Boys named Wilberto have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it many years ago: Reaching pos. 1,616 Wilberto ranked higher than ever in 1964. By comparison, there have been 93 years in which the first name Wilberto 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 Wilberto 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 Wilberto was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
The first name Wilberto is a true rarity among all men and boys currently living in the United States – only 104 Americans in total bear this name. And these 104 men are located in only three states: California, New Jersey and New York (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 Wilberto 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 Wilberto in relation to it’s male population is New York. And yet even there, only one in 153,808 men would raise his hand if asked whether there was a Wilberto present.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter W is quite rare as an initial letter for boys' names: only 1.5% of all common boys' names in the US begin with a W, which means that this initial occurs only about half as often as the other letters on average. Nevertheless, W is by no means the rarest initial. While J, A and D are the most common first letters of boys' names, X, U and Q are the least common initials of feminine first names.
With eight letters, the name Wilberto is long compared to other names. In fact, 14.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly eight letters. 78% of all first names are shorter, while only 8% of all boys’ and girls’ names use nine letters or even more. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long with no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.
That means that since 1.5% of all boys’ names begin with a W, this initial occurs less than half as often as the other letters on average. By the way, of the comparatively few boys' names that begin with a W, William is currently the most common.
If your name is Wilberto 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 Wilberto, you can simply say:
Windmill
Igloo
Lion
Butterfly
Elephant
Rocket
Tiger
