Darlena is a female first name.
Recently, the name Darlena 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 Darlena. That means that a girl named Darlena 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 Darlena.
If your name is Darlena your parents may be very proud to let their daughter swim against the tide: The name Darlena never ranked higher than position 1,420 in our statistics, and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea of naming their daughter Darlena. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1958 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 Darlena 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 Darlena was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
As in the last century, Darlena 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 Darlena 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.
It is not so easy to find a woman or girl named Darlena in the USA. Although the name is not sooooo rare overall, it is only at home in a few selected regions of the USA. In the entire United States there are currently a total of 202 women and girls named Darlena, but there are vast areas of the country where not a single person with this name can be found. In fact, the 202 women and girls named Darlena live in no more than 7 different states, including for example California, Florida, Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio. In all other 42 states, there are no – or, to be precise, less than a handful – women called Darlena. (To explain: The official statistics provide the data per state only if at least five women with a specific name live in the same state. So, it’s quite possible that there are one or two states where someone with the name Darlena lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Darlena and you live outside the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics.). The state with the most girls and women named Darlena relative to its female population is West Virginia. And even there, only one in 26,821 women and girls would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Darlena.
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 seven letters, the name Darlena has a typical length for first names in the US. In fact, 26% of all common first names consist of exactly seven letters. 52% of all first names are shorter, while 22% have eight 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.
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 Darlena 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 Darlena, you can simply say:
