Delena is a female first name.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Delena in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Delena in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Delena by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Delena ranks at #9,590. That means there are 9,589 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 Delena.
If your name is Delena your parents may be very proud to let their daughter swim against the tide: The name Delena never ranked higher than position 1,366 in our statistics, and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea of naming their daughter Delena. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1967 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 Delena 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 Delena was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
As in the last century, Delena still proves to be exceptional. Even in 2022, the name was given very rarely - in fact, only 11 times in the entire U.S. So, a Delena from 2022 will need very good binoculars to spot the next namesake of the same age.
It is not so easy to find a woman or girl named Delena 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 173 women and girls named Delena, but there are vast areas of the country where not a single person with this name can be found. In fact, the 173 women and girls named Delena live in no more than 6 different states, including for example Arkansas, California, Georgia, Kentucky and Ohio. In all other 43 states, there are no – or, to be precise, less than a handful – women called Delena. (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 Delena lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Delena 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 Delena relative to its female population is Kentucky. And even there, only one in 121,665 women and girls would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Delena.
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 six letters, the name Delena 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.
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 Delena 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...
