Delva

Delva is a first name for girls.

Delva – a very rare name!

Recently, the name Delva 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 Delva. That means that a girl named Delva is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name her whole life.

Delva -
once in a blue moon

Do you know the feeling when you go to the zoo and the animal that is supposed to be in the enclosure is not there? You know it should to be there, but you've never seen it? It's the same with Delva. Girls named Delva have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it many years ago: Reaching pos. 1,915 Delva ranked higher than ever in 1910. By comparison, there have been 107 years in which the first name Delva has not been given at all (or less than 5 times, which is the minimum number required for a name to be included in the statistics), most recently in 2022. In general, parents name their daughters Delva only once in a blue moon, so girls and women with this name can consider themselves really special!

In years where the graph has no value, the name Delva was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

Delva has 5 letters 
and begins with a D

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 Delva 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.

Other names with
