Charna

Charna is a female first name.

Charna – a very rare name!

Recently, the name Charna 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 Charna.

If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Charna.
