Celina is a female first name. In very rare cases it is also used for boys.
Celina is a well-known name in the US, but is still special. It is currently only given to every ten thousandth girl, and therefore ranks at 1,099 in the SmartGenius statistics. This means there are 1,098 girls names that are more common, but also tens of thousands that are much rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Celina.
For more than 140 years, parents decide to name their daughter Celina annualy. This means that there have been girls named Celina who witnessed the first Labor Day parade in the U.S. or followed Albert Einstein's career. The name has 'always been there', but never ranked in the top 100, and thus women named Celina have consistently been special. The name became especially popular in the last quarter of the last century and there was one year in particular when parents of Generation X and Generation Y rather came up with the idea of naming their child Celina: in 1994, it holds its present record of #405 in the ranking of the most popular girls' names.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Celina was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
Celina has never been ranked higher than #405. In 2022, she rivaled the 955 names that preceded her on the list. In total, 237 girls named Celina were born in that year. For comparison: 30 years earlier, in 1992, when possibly the parents of the now very young Celina were born, there have been 370 newborns who received this name.
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 six letters, the name Celina is of average length. In fact, 28% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly six letters. 24% of all first names are shorter, while 48% have seven 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.
If your name is Celina 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...
