Cyla is a female first name.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Cyla in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Cyla in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Cyla by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Cyla ranks at #8,654. That means there are 8,653 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 Cyla.
If you ever wanted to meet a girl or a woman named Cyla, you have limited options – because girls with this beautiful name are currently living in Florida and Texas. However, we must admit that a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if tehre are at least five people with that name living there – so it’s quite possible that there are still a few women and girls called Cyla living in one state or another (if your name is Cyla and you live outside of Florida and Texas, we’d really appreciate it if you’d let us know, so we can refine our statistics even further). Which means – if you put this number in relation to the population of the USA – only one in 982,047 girls and women would turn around if you called out the name Cyla. So, if your name is Cyla it is very likely that you won’t need a nickname in your peer group, because having the name Cyla already makes you special.
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 Cyla 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 Cyla 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...
