The first name 
Cecille

Cecille is a female first name.

Cecille – a very rare name!

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

Cecille -
swimming against the tide

If your name is Cecille your parents may be very proud to let their daughter swim against the tide: The name Cecille never ranked higher than position 1,022 in our statistics, and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea of naming their daughter Cecille. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1898 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 Cecille because that was a veeeeery long time ago - unless, of course, you have some very creative parents in the neighborhood.

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

2022 - looking for Cecille?

As in the last century, Cecille still proves to be exceptional. Even in 2022, the name was given very rarely - in fact, only 6 times in the entire U.S. So, a Cecille from 2022 will need very good binoculars to spot the next namesake of the same age.

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

The first name Cecille is a true rarity among all women and girls currently living in the United States – only 37 Americans in total bear this name. And these 37 women are located in only four states: California, Illinois, Massachusetts and New York (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 Cecille 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 Cecille in relation to it’s female population is New York. And yet even there, only one in 568,253 women would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Cecille.

Cecille has 7 letters 
and begins with a C

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 Cecille 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.
