How are spigots/plumbing measured?

I want to replace a garden spigot that has damaged splines to where the turn handle would be attached. How do I measure correctly so that I could go to a parts store once? The spigot in question has a male thread to the source pipe. I measured the spigot's inlet as 1 1/16" OD on the thread. I also measured the ID as 5/8". I'm assuming the ID is the correct measurement for the proper replacement. Is there anything else I need to know to size it correctly?

Also to add, my house was built in the 50s if that helps.
