About Governor
Governor is far from one of the established occupational names such as Porter or Cooper, but with babies names King and Prince, Governor certainly wouldn't seem as outlandish today as it once might have.
Pronounced GUV-er-ner.
As of October 2026, Governor ranked #12951 in US births in 2011 SSA, peaked at #836 in 1889.
