Daina is a female first name. In very rare cases it is also used for boys.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Daina in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Daina in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Daina by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Daina ranks at #8,763. That means there are 8,762 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 Daina.
If your name is Daina your parents may be very proud to let their daughter swim against the tide: The name Daina never ranked higher than position 1,114 in our statistics, and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea of naming their daughter Daina. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1964 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 Daina 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 Daina was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
As in the last century, Daina still proves to be exceptional. Even in 2022, the name was given very rarely - in fact, only 7 times in the entire U.S. So, a Daina from 2022 will need very good binoculars to spot the next namesake of the same age.
The odds of living in the same statae as someone named Daina 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 Daina is registered in 14 states, among which are Arkansas, California, Illinois, Indiana or Michigan. In proportion to the female population, most women and girls with the first name Daina live in California, and even there the name is rather special – only one in 74,939 would turn around if you called the name Daina across California.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter D is quite common as an initial letter for girls' names. To be precise, 5.6% of all 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 five letters, the name Daina is comparatively short. In fact, 17.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly five letters. Only 7% of all first names are even shorter, while 75% have more than five 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.
Therefore: As 5.6% of all girls' names start with D, this initial letter occurs much more often than all 26 letters on average. And maybe interesting to know: of all the names that begin with a D, Dorothy is the most common.
If your name is Daina 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...
