Eleana is a female first name.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Eleana is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 3 out of 100,000 girls have been named Eleana. In the SmartGenius ranking, Eleana is #3,324 on the list of most common girls names. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Eleana.
While Eleana isn't one of the most popular names of all time, it does seem to have attracted parents especially in the second half of last century. In 1986 the name Eleana reached its highest popularity with #2,609 in our ranking of all female first names. As it is so exquisite, mothers and fathers did not always come up with the idea of naming their daughter Eleana. One might assume that this was because the name was only occasionally in keeping with the spirit of the times - and girls in those decades were given the unusual and beautiful name of Eleana.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Eleana was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, 47 babies were born with the name Eleana. This puts the name in rank 2,984 in the SmartGenius statistics - or in other words, one in 3,153,870 newborns was named Eleana that year. Ever since first names have been registered, Eleana has been and remains marvelously unusual!
The odds of living in the same statae as someone named Eleana are about the same as meeting someone with blue eyes in the entire country – both odds are about 25 to 30 %. More precisely, the first name Eleana is registered in 10 states, among which are Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida or New Jersey. In proportion to the female population, most women and girls with the first name Eleana live in California, and even there the name is rather special – only one in 79,748 would turn around if you called the name Eleana across California.
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 Eleana 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 Eleana 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...
