Its crisp, one-syllable structure appeals to parents seeking names with historical depth and modern brevity. While Kord has not broken the top 500 in the United States, it has maintained a steady ranking between 800 and 950 over recent decades, securing the 917th spot in 2024 with seven registered newborns.
