The first name 
Elane

Elane is a first name for girls.

Elane – a very rare name!

Recently, the name Elane 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 Elane. That means that a girl named Elane 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 Elane.

Elane -
swimming against the tide

If your name is Elane your parents may be very proud to let their daughter swim against the tide: The name Elane never ranked higher than position 1,889 in our statistics, and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea of naming their daughter Elane. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1943 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 Elane 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 Elane was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

2022 - looking for Elane?

As in the last century, Elane still proves to be exceptional. Even in 2022, the name was given very rarely - in fact, only 5 times in the entire U.S. So, a Elane from 2022 will need very good binoculars to spot the next namesake of the same age.

Elane -
at home in California and New York

If you ever wanted to meet a girl or a woman named Elane, you have limited options – because girls with this beautiful name are currently living in California and New York. However, we must admit that a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if tehre are at least five people with that name living there – so it’s quite possible that there are still a few women and girls called Elane living in one state or another (if your name is Elane and you live outside of California and New York, we’d really appreciate it if you’d let us know, so we can refine our statistics even further). Which means – if you put this number in relation to the population of the USA – only one in 2,386,663 girls and women would turn around if you called out the name Elane. So, if your name is Elane it is very likely that you won’t need a nickname in your peer group, because having the name Elane already makes you special.

Elane has 5 letters 
and begins with an E

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter E is neither particularly common nor particularly rare as a first letter for girls' names: 3.9% of all common 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, while U, X and Q are the least common initials of girls' names.

With five letters, the name Elane 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.

That means that with 3.9%, E as the first letter in girls' names is almost as common as all 26 letters on average - and of all the girls' names that start with an E, Elizabeth is the most common.

Other names with 
E, l, a, n and e

If you take all the letters in the name Elane – E, l, a, n and e – and put them together again, you can form other names, such as Anele or others.
