Drena is a female first name.
Recently, the name Drena 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 Drena. That means that a girl named Drena 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 Drena.
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 Drena. Girls named Drena have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it many years ago: Reaching pos. 1,214 Drena ranked higher than ever in 1945. By comparison, there have been 92 years in which the first name Drena 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 Drena 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 Drena was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
The first name Drena is a true rarity among all women and girls currently living in the United States – only 25 Americans in total bear this name. And these 25 women are located in only three states: California, Illinois and Pennsylvania (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 Drena 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 Drena in relation to it’s female population is California. And yet even there, only one in 994,194 women would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Drena.
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 Drena 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 Drena 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...
