Wisdom -
ahead of the curve

In fact, the name Wisdom did not fit the trend of the last century. Young parents in the 2000s began to change that a bit. After several years of not being given at all (or less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), Wisdom seemed to be more popular than ever in 2022. Although the name never ranked higher than #2,941, 132 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Wisdom, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.

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

Wisdom has 6 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 six letters, the name Wisdom is of average length. In fact, 28% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly six letters. 24% of all first names are shorter, while 48% have seven 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.
