The first name 
Chedva

Chedva is a female first name.

Chedva – a very rare name!

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

Chedva -
something very, very special - even in her home state New York!

If you’re looking for someone named Chedva, you might want to head to New York. Why New York of all places? Well, simply because, according to official statistics, there are no women or girls named Chedva living in any other state. However, we have to admit that a first name is only listed in the official statistics of a state if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it may well be that there are still a few women and girls named Chedva living in one state or another. But, in any case the name is extremely rare (if your name happens to be Chedva and you live outside of New York, we would be very grateful if you could let us know so that we can refine our statistics even further). By the way, even in New York, the name Chedva is not really that common – there are only 16 women and girls with this name living there right now, which is not more than 0.00013% of all female residents of New York – so if you are one of them, you can rightly say that you are someone very special!

Chedva has 6 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 six letters, the name Chedva 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.
