Berdina is a first name for girls.

Berdina – a very rare name!

Recently, the name Berdina has been given only a handful of times a year and is therefore particularly rare, at least in the US. In recent years, not even one girl in 100,000 has been named Berdina.

Berdina -
something very, very special - even in her home state Iowa!

If you’re looking for someone named Berdina, you might want to head to Iowa. Why Iowa of all places? Well, simply because, according to official statistics, there are no women or girls named Berdina 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 Berdina living in one state or another. But, in any case the name is extremely rare (if your name happens to be Berdina and you live outside of Iowa, 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 Iowa, the name Berdina is not really that common – there are only 6 women and girls with this name living there right now, which is not more than 0.00030% of all female residents of Iowa – so if you are one of them, you can rightly say that you are someone very special!

Berdina has 7 letters 
and begins with a B

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: 3.2% of all common girls' names in the US begin with a B. This means that B as the first letter for girls' names is neither particularly common nor rare. The most common first letters of girls' names are A, S and M, while U, X and Q are the least common initials of girls' names.

With seven letters, the name Berdina has a typical length for first names in the US. In fact, 26% of all common first names consist of exactly seven letters. 52% of all first names are shorter, while 22% have eight letters or more. 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.

Thus, if 3.2% of all girls’ names start with a B, this initial letter is slightly less common than all other letters on average. Nevertheless, there are girls' names with B that are quite common in the U.S., the most common at present is Barbara.
