Elanna is a female first name.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Elanna in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Elanna in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Elanna by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Elanna ranks at #6,117. That means there are 6,116 more common girls names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. Of all Americans currently living, not even one in 100,000 would answer if you shouted out the name Elanna.
If you’re looking for someone named Elanna, you might want to head to California. Why California of all places? Well, simply because, according to official statistics, there are no women or girls named Elanna living in any other state. However, we have to admit that a first name is only listed in the official statistics of a state if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it may well be that there are still a few women and girls named Elanna living in one state or another. But, in any case the name is extremely rare (if your name happens to be Elanna and you live outside of California, we would be very grateful if you could let us know so that we can refine our statistics even further). By the way, even in California, the name Elanna is not really that common – there are only 5 women and girls with this name living there right now, which is not more than 0.00003% of all female residents of California – so if you are one of them, you can rightly say that you are someone very special!
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 six letters, the name Elanna 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.
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.
If your name is Elanna 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...
So that everyone really understands you when you have to spell the name Elanna, you can simply say:
