The first name 
Bruna

Bruna is a female first name.

Bruna – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a girl named Bruna in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Bruna in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Bruna by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Bruna ranks at #7,556. That means there are 7,555 more common girls names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Bruna.

Bruna -
swimming against the tide

If your name is Bruna your parents may be very proud to let their daughter swim against the tide: The name Bruna never ranked higher than position 1,245 in our statistics, and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea of naming their daughter Bruna. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1915 to choose the name more often than usual - only compared to the rest of the time, of course. You probably still won't find many children named Bruna because that was several decades ago - unless, of course, you have some very creative parents in the neighborhood.

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

2022 - looking for Bruna?

As in the last century, Bruna still proves to be exceptional. Even in 2022, the name was given very rarely - in fact, only 17 times in the entire U.S. So, a Bruna from 2022 will need very good binoculars to spot the next namesake of the same age.

Bruna -
at home only in a few regions of the USA

The first name Bruna is a true rarity among all women and girls currently living in the United States – only 150 Americans in total bear this name. And these 150 women are located in only five states: California, Florida, Massachusetts, New York and Pennsylvania (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 Bruna 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 Bruna in relation to it’s female population is Massachusetts. And yet even there, only one in 105,711 women would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Bruna.

Bruna has 5 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 five letters, the name Bruna 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.

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.

Other names with
