Abcde, the first five letters of the Latin alphabet, is a rare feminine given name in the United States. The existence of the given name came to public attention in December 2014 due to a news story surrounding a seven-year-old girl with the name. This triggered the news portal Vocativ to look into the statistics of the given name. It turned out that 328 girls were named Abcde in the United States between 1990 and 2014. The name was given to 32 newly born girls in the year 2009 alone. The phenomenon seems to originate in Hawaii, where the first baby to be named Abcde was born at the Kona Hospital on October 19, 1986. After that, the name caught on and five more babies that were born in 1990 were named Abcde. The name later seems to have caught on among Hispanic American families, especially in New Mexico.
This name also appears in the episode of Studio C "You're SO Lucky!"
