Christiane is a female first name. In very rare cases it is also used for boys.
Recently, the name Christiane 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 Christiane. That means that a girl named Christiane 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 Christiane.
If your name is Christiane your parents may be very proud to let their daughter swim against the tide: The name Christiane never ranked higher than position 1,187 in our statistics, and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea of naming their daughter Christiane. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1971 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 Christiane because that was several decades ago - unless, of course, you have some very creative parents in the neighborhood.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Christiane was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
As in the last century, Christiane still proves to be very exceptional. In 2022, for example, it was not given once in the entire U.S. - or, to be more precise, it was given at most four times, because names given less than five times in one year are not included in the official statistics. So if you know someone named Christiane who was born in 2022, please let us know - we would be very interested in hearing about it so that we can provide you with even more accurate statistics.
The odds of living in the same statae as someone named Christiane are about the same as meeting someone with blue eyes in the entire country – both odds are about 25 to 30 %. More precisely, the first name Christiane is registered in 10 states, among which are California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois or Michigan. In proportion to the female population, most women and girls with the first name Christiane live in California, and even there the name is rather special – only one in 48,735 would turn around if you called the name Christiane across California.
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 ten letters, the name Christiane is obviously a particularly long first name used in the U.S.: only 1.8% of all common first names have exactly ten letters. 98% of all first names are shorter, while only 0.6% of all boys’ and girls’ names need more than ten letters. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long with 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 you take all the letters in the name Christiane – C, h, r, i, s, t, i, a, n and e – and put them together again, you can form other names, such as Christenia or Christinea.
If your name is Christiane 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 Christiane, you can simply say:

Hat
Rocket
