Windsor -
swimming against the tide

If your name is Windsor your parents may be very proud to let their child swim against the tide: The name Windsor never ranked higher than position 4,000 in our statistics, and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea of naming their offspring Windsor. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1925 to choose the name more often than usual - only compared to the rest of the time, of course. You probably still won't find many children named Windsor because that was several decades ago - unless, of course, you have some very creative parents in the neighborhood.

In years where the graph has no value, the name Windsor was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

2022 - looking for Windsor?

As in the last century, Windsor still proves to be exceptional. Even in 2022, the name was given very rarely - in fact, only 42 times in the entire U.S. So, a Windsor from 2022 will need very good binoculars to spot the next namesake of the same age.

Windsor has 7 letters 
and begins with a W

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The W is really rare as a first letter for given names: only 1.1% of all common first names in the US begin with a W. The most common first letters of given names, by the way, are A, J and K, while U, X and Q are the least common initials of first names.

With seven letters, the name Windsor 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 1.1% of all first names start with a W, all other letters occur on average more than three times as often as the W.
