Alyna is a first name for girls.
Alyna 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 1,765 in the SmartGenius statistics. This means there are 1,764 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 Alyna.
In fact, the name Alyna 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), Alyna seemed to be more popular than ever in 2007. Although the name never ranked higher than #1,274, 178 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Alyna, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Alyna was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the yet rare name Alyna a few times. Among all newborn girls it ranked #1,814 - with a total of 96 baby girls. This means, as you can see above, that the name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it supposedly didn't appear at all for many years - giving girls with this first name a sheen of something particularly contemporary and special.
The odds of living in the same statae as someone named Alyna are about the same as meeting someone with blue eyes in the entire country – both odds are about 25 to 30 %. More precisely, the first name Alyna is registered in 13 states, among which are Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia or Illinois. In proportion to the female population, most women and girls with the first name Alyna live in California, and even there the name is rather special – only one in 19,964 would turn around if you called the name Alyna across California.
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 Alyna 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 Alyna 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...
