You might be surprised to see Arthur listed as a feminine name, but our database pulls in every name that appears on every name popularity list from anywhere ever. (Note: Lots of countries don't keep name popularity data, but if they do, we have it). Therefore some parents at some point named their daughters Arthur.

Regardless of the reasons, more than 3000 girls have been registered as Arthur in the US since records began in the late 19th century and at its 1928 peak, it was given to 94 girls, which can't all have been accidental!
