The first name 
Aanika

Aanika is a female first name.

Aanika – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a girl named Aanika in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Aanika in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Aanika by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Aanika ranks at #6,425. That means there are 6,424 more common girls names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Aanika.

However, we must admit that a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if tehre are at least five people with that name living there – so it’s quite possible that there are still a few women and girls called Aanika living in one state or another (if your name is Aanika and you live outside of California and New Jersey, we’d really appreciate it if you’d let us know, so we can refine our statistics even further). Which means – if you put this number in relation to the population of the USA – only one in 420,865 girls and women would turn around if you called out the name Aanika.
