Adena is a first name for girls.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Adena in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Adena in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Adena by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Adena ranks at #8,296. That means there are 8,295 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 Adena.
If your name is Adena your parents may be very proud to let their daughter swim against the tide: The name Adena never ranked higher than position 1,606 in our statistics, and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea of naming their daughter Adena. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1902 to choose the name more often than usual - only compared to the rest of the time, of course. You probably still won't find many children named Adena because that was several decades ago - unless, of course, you have some very creative parents in the neighborhood.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Adena was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
As in the last century, Adena still proves to be exceptional. Even in 2022, the name was given very rarely - in fact, only 5 times in the entire U.S. So, a Adena from 2022 will need very good binoculars to spot the next namesake of the same age.
The first name Adena is a true rarity among all women and girls currently living in the United States – only 194 Americans in total bear this name. And these 194 women are located in only five states: California, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Texas (it should be noted that the official statistics provide the data per state only if there are at least 5 women with this name in the state. So, if your name is Adena and you live outside the states marked on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics). The state with the most girls and women named Adena in relation to it’s female population is California. And yet even there, only one in 126,381 women would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Adena.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter A is the most popular first letter for girls’ names. 11.8% of all common girls’ names in the US start with this letter. The second most common first letter in girls' names is S.
With five letters, the name Adena is comparatively short. In fact, 17.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly five letters. Only 7% of all first names are even shorter, while 75% have more than five 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 11.8% of all girls' names start with an A, this initial letter occurs over three times as often as all other letters on average. And, by the way, of all the girls' names that begin with the letter A, the name Ashley is the most common.
If your name is Adena and someone asks after your name, you can of course just tell them what it is. But sometimes that isn't so easy - what if it's too loud, and you don't understand them well? 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...
So that everyone really understands you when you have to spell the name Adena, you can simply say:

In the navy, sailors of two ships might wave flags to each other to send messages. A sailor holds two flags in specific positions to represent different letters.
