Devra is a female first name.
Recently, the name Devra 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 Devra. That means that a girl named Devra 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 Devra.
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 Devra. Girls named Devra have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it many years ago: Reaching pos. 1,668 Devra ranked higher than ever in 1955. By comparison, there have been 93 years in which the first name Devra 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 Devra 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 Devra was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
The first name Devra is a true rarity among all women and girls currently living in the United States – only 45 Americans in total bear this name. And these 45 women are located in only three states: California, Kansas and Kentucky (it should be noted that the official statistics provide the data per state only if there are at least 5 women with this name in the state. So, if your name is Devra and you live outside the states marked on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics). The state with the most girls and women named Devra in relation to it’s female population is Kansas. And yet even there, only one in 263,132 women would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Devra.
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 Devra 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 Devra 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...
