The first name 
Bernarda

Bernarda is a first name for girls.

Bernarda – a very rare name!

Recently, the name Bernarda 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 Bernarda. That means that a girl named Bernarda is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name her whole life. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Bernarda.

Bernarda -
once in a blue moon

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 to be there, but you've never seen it? It's the same with Bernarda. Girls named Bernarda have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it many years ago: Reaching pos. 1,616 Bernarda ranked higher than ever in 1911. By comparison, there have been 96 years in which the first name Bernarda 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 2022. In general, parents name their daughters Bernarda only once in a blue moon, so girls and women with this name can consider themselves really special!

In years where the graph has no value, the name Bernarda was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

at home in

However, we must admit that a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if tehre are at least five people with that name living there – so it’s quite possible that there are still a few women and girls called Bernarda living in one state or another (if your name is Bernarda and you live outside of , we’d really appreciate it if you’d let us know, so we can refine our statistics even further). Which means – if you put this number in relation to the population of the USA – only one in 125,905 girls and women would turn around if you called out the name Bernarda.

Bernarda has 8 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 eight letters, the name Bernarda 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.

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.
