Ellene is a first name for girls.
Recently, the name Ellene 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 Ellene. That means that a girl named Ellene 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 Ellene.
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 Ellene. Girls named Ellene have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it many years ago: Reaching pos. 1,219 Ellene ranked higher than ever in 1925. By comparison, there have been 85 years in which the first name Ellene 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 Ellene 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 Ellene was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
The first name Ellene is a true rarity among all women and girls currently living in the United States – only 52 Americans in total bear this name. And these 52 women are located in only three states: Alabama, Georgia and Texas (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 Ellene 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 Ellene in relation to it’s female population is Georgia. And yet even there, only one in 99,054 women would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Ellene.
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 Ellene 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 Ellene 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 Ellene, you can simply say:
