Ye is a first name for all genders, most often used for boys.

Ye is a very rare first name!

You won't believe all there is 
to discover about the name
 
Ye

Ye has 2 letters 
and begins with a Y

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter Y is pretty rare as an initial letter for first names: only 1.6% of all common first names in the US begin with Y. By the way, the most common first letters of given names are A, J and K, while U, X and Q are the least common initials of first names.

Being only two letters long, the name Ye is really special. Only 0.2% of all common first names in the US are written with just two letters. On the other hand, 99.8% of all boys’ and girls’ names use more than two letters. 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.

Since 1.6% of all first names begin with a Y, this initial occurs less than half as often as the other letters on average, but Y is by no means the rarest initial.
