The first name 
Buna

Buna is a female first name.

Buna – a very rare name!

Recently, the name Buna 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 Buna. That means that a girl named Buna 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 Buna.

Buna -
a Dinosaur?

Is the name Buna a dinosaur? We would say: It's classic! Parents chose this name most often in 1882 – at that time, it landed at position 643 with 8 newborn girls receiving this special first name. This was the last peak in a world without airplanes, computers, rock music, or even television. Because Buna is both classic and fancy at the same time, people didn't always think to give their child this unusual name. So, if your name is Buna, feel classic and not old-fashioned, because after all, your name is what makes you stand out these days!

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

Buna in 2022 - someone's missing!

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

The first name Buna is a true rarity among all women and girls currently living in the United States – only 113 Americans in total bear this name. And these 113 women are located in only four states: Alabama, North Carolina, Tennessee 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 Buna 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 Buna in relation to it’s female population is Alabama. And yet even there, only one in 59,439 women would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Buna.

Buna has 4 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 four letters, the name Buna is shorter than most other given names. In fact, only 5.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly four letters. Just 1.2% of all first names are even shorter, while 93% consist of more than four 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 
B, u, n and a

If you take all the letters in the name Buna – B, u, n and a – and put them together again, you can form another name, such as Banu.
