Electa is a female first name.
Recently, the name Electa 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 Electa. That means that a girl named Electa 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 Electa.
The first name Electa is a true rarity among all women and girls currently living in the United States – only 15 Americans in total bear this name. And these 15 women are located in only three states: Kansas, Louisiana and Missouri (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 Electa 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 Electa in relation to it’s female population is Kansas. And yet even there, only one in 315,758 women would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Electa.
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 Electa 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 Electa 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 Electa, you can simply say:
