Elnora is a female first name. In very rare cases it is also used for boys.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Elnora in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Elnora in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Elnora by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Elnora ranks at #5,865. That means there are 5,864 more common girls names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. In the entire USA, approximately 15,230 people – children, adults and seniors – currently bear the name Elnora. That is 0.00 % of all living Americans.
For more than 140 years, parents decide to name their daughter Elnora annualy. This means that there have been girls named Elnora who witnessed the first Labor Day parade in the U.S. or followed Albert Einstein's career. The name has 'always been there', but never ranked in the top 100, and thus women named Elnora have consistently been special. The name was particularly popular a long time ago in the 19th century. In one particular year, long before the first passenger flight and even before there was the first real radio, parents liked Elnora even more than any other time: in 1882, it holds its present record of rank #219 in the list of the most popular girls' names.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Elnora was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
Elnora has never been ranked higher than #219. In 2022, she rivaled the 4,545 names that preceded her on the list. In total, 25 girls named Elnora were born in that year. For comparison: 30 years earlier, in 1992, when possibly the parents of the now very young Elnora were born, there have been 14 newborns who received this name.
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 Elnora 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 Elnora 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...
