Sana is a female first name. In very rare cases it is also used for boys.
Sana is a well-known name in the US, but is still special. It is currently only given to every ten thousandth girl, and therefore ranks at 1,542 in the SmartGenius statistics. This means there are 1,541 girls names that are more common, but also tens of thousands that are much rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Sana.
In fact, the name Sana did not fit the trend of the last century. Young parents in the 2000s began to change that a bit. After several years of not being given at all (or less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), Sana seemed to be more popular than ever in 2022. Although the name never ranked higher than #1,189, 179 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Sana, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Sana was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter S is a very popular first letter for girls' names. That’s because 9.3% of all common girls’ names in the US begin with this letter. Only the first letter A is more common for girls' names.
With four letters, the name Sana is shorter than most other given names. In fact, only 5.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly four letters. Just 1.2% of all first names are even shorter, while 93% consist of more than four letters. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long. There are no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.
That means that if 9.3% of all girls' names start with an S, this initial letter occurs nearly three times as often as all other letters on average. And by the way: Of all the girls' names that start with an S, Susan is the most common.

Or what if the other person is so far away that you can see them but not hear them? In these situations, you can communicate your name in so many other ways: you call spell it, sign it, or even use a flag to wave it...
