Cera is a female first name.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Cera in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Cera in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Cera by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Cera ranks at #8,073. That means there are 8,072 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 Cera.
In fact, the name Cera hardly fits the trend of first names for girls. Between 1976 and 1999, young parents changed that a bit. For many years, Cera wasn't given at all (or at least less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), but by 1995, the name was more popular than ever. Although the name never ranked higher than position 1,447, 98 parents chose it in 1995 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Cera, you were already special when you were born - and you did your best to become a trendsetter.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Cera was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the rare name Cera a few times. Among all newborn girls, it ranked 13,280, for a total of 5 babies. The name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it didn't appear at all for a many years. As Cera seems to be a bit more popular in the middle of the 20th century, it proves to remain a great rarity in 2022.
It is not so easy to find a woman or girl named Cera in the USA. Although the name is not sooooo rare overall, it is only at home in a few selected regions of the USA. In the entire United States there are currently a total of 274 women and girls named Cera, but there are vast areas of the country where not a single person with this name can be found. In fact, the 274 women and girls named Cera live in no more than 8 different states, including for example California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois and Michigan. In all other 41 states, there are no – or, to be precise, less than a handful – women called Cera. (To explain: The official statistics provide the data per state only if at least five women with a specific name live in the same state. So, it’s quite possible that there are one or two states where someone with the name Cera lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Cera and you live outside the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics.). The state with the most girls and women named Cera relative to its female population is California. And even there, only one in 121,243 women and girls would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Cera.
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 four letters, the name Cera 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.
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 Cera 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...
So that everyone really understands you when you have to spell the name Cera, you can simply say:
