Carmina is a female first name.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Carmina in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Carmina in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Carmina by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Carmina ranks at #6,055. That means there are 6,054 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 Carmina.
While Carmina isn't one of the most popular names of all time, it does seem to have attracted parents especially in the second half of last century. In 1976 the name Carmina reached its highest popularity with #2,287 in our ranking of all female first names. As it is so exquisite, mothers and fathers did not always come up with the idea of naming their daughter Carmina. One might assume that this was because the name was only occasionally in keeping with the spirit of the times - and girls in those decades were given the unusual and beautiful name of Carmina.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Carmina was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, 15 babies were born with the name Carmina. This puts the name in rank 6,358 in the SmartGenius statistics - or in other words, one in 9,882,127 newborns was named Carmina that year. Ever since first names have been registered, Carmina has been and remains marvelously unusual!
The first name Carmina is a true rarity among all women and girls currently living in the United States – only 396 Americans in total bear this name. And these 396 women are located in only three states: California, Illinois 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 Carmina 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 Carmina in relation to it’s female population is California. And yet even there, only one in 40,414 women would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Carmina.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter C is a frequent initial letter for girls' names. This is because 6.0% of all common girls’ names in the US begin with this letter. The most common first letters of girls' names, by the way, are A, S and M.
With seven letters, the name Carmina 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.
That means that with 6.0% of all girls' names that begin with a C, this first letter is much more common than the average of all letters. And which girls’ name beginning with C do you think is the most common in the US? The answer is... Carol.

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...
