Dianna is a first name typically given to girls, but in rare cases also used as a boys name.
Dianna is a well-known name in the US, but is still special. It is currently only given to every ten thousandth girl, and therefore ranks at 1,823 in the SmartGenius statistics. This means there are 1,822 girls names that are more common, but also tens of thousands that are much rarer. In the entire USA, approximately 52,163 people – children, adults and seniors – currently bear the name Dianna. That is 0.02 % of all living Americans.
The name Dianna may not be in the top rankings of the most popular girls’ names, but it is one of the few female given names, along with only 536 others, that can be found in every single state in the U.S. from Alaska to Florida and from California to New York. Of course, the name occurs more frequently in some states than in others – and Dianna is apparently especially popular in West Virginia. Although the name is not one of the top 100 most popular women’s names here either, one in 1,284 women in West Virginia is called Dianna. In total, that’s 1,149 women who feel addressed when the name Dianna is shouted loudly across West Virginia and who ensure that their name makes it to #287 in our SmartGenius ranking of the most common female names in this nice state. If you asked all women in the entire U.S. for their first name, you would hear Dianna as the answer a total of 52,163 times. This places Dianna at #501 in our SmartGenius statistics for the most popular women’s names in the whole of the USA. This is true for all currently living women across all states and age groups – the recent popularity of the name Dianna as a baby name is, of course, a bit different, as you can see from the statistics above.
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 Dianna 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 Dianna 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...
