Allianna -
something very, very special - even in her home state Ohio!

If you’re looking for someone named Allianna, you might want to head to Ohio. Why Ohio of all places? Well, simply because, according to official statistics, there are no women or girls named Allianna living in any other state. However, we have to admit that a first name is only listed in the official statistics of a state if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it may well be that there are still a few women and girls named Allianna living in one state or another. But, in any case the name is extremely rare (if your name happens to be Allianna and you live outside of Ohio, we would be very grateful if you could let us know so that we can refine our statistics even further). By the way, even in Ohio, the name Allianna is not really that common – there are only 5 women and girls with this name living there right now, which is not more than 0.00007% of all female residents of Ohio – so if you are one of them, you can rightly say that you are someone very special!

Allianna has 8 letters 
and begins with an A

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 eight letters, the name Allianna is long compared to other names. In fact, 14.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly eight letters. 78% of all first names are shorter, while only 8% of all boys’ and girls’ names use nine letters or even more. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long with 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.
