Bethani is a first name for girls.
Recently, the name Bethani 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 Bethani. That means that a girl named Bethani 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 Bethani.
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 Bethani. Girls named Bethani have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it a few years ago: At No. 2,184 Bethani ranked higher than ever before in 1988. By comparison, there have been 94 years in which the first name Bethani 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 Bethani only once in a blue moon, so girls and women with this name can consider themselves exceptional!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Bethani was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
The first name Bethani is a true rarity among all women and girls currently living in the United States – only 77 Americans in total bear this name. And these 77 women are located in only five states: California, Michigan, Ohio, Oklahoma and Texas (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 Bethani 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 Bethani in relation to it’s female population is Texas. And yet even there, only one in 219,716 women would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Bethani.
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 Bethani 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.
If your name is Bethani 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...
So that everyone really understands you when you have to spell the name Bethani, you can simply say:
Butterfly
Elephant
Tiger
Hat
Apple
