Akina is a first name for girls.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Akina in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Akina in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Akina by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Akina ranks at #8,605. That means there are 8,604 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 Akina.
Do you know the feeling when you go to the zoo and the animal that is supposed to be in the enclosure is not there? You know it should be there, but you've never seen it? It's the same with Akina. Girls named Akina have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it a few years ago: At No. 3,249 Akina ranked higher than ever before in 1976. By comparison, there have been 104 years in which the first name Akina has not been given at all (or less than 5 times, which is the minimum number required for a name to be included in the statistics), most recently in 2020. In general, parents name their daughters Akina only once in a blue moon, so girls and women with this name can consider themselves exceptional!

The first name Akina is a true rarity among all women and girls currently living in the United States – only 36 Americans in total bear this name. And these 36 women are located in only four states: California, Florida, Georgia and New York (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 Akina 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 Akina in relation to it’s female population is California. And yet even there, only one in 710,139 women would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Akina.
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 Akina 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 Akina 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...
