Eugenia is a female first name. In very rare cases it is also used for boys.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Eugenia 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 Eugenia. In the SmartGenius ranking, Eugenia is #3,122 on the list of most common girls names. In the entire USA, approximately 22,830 people – children, adults and seniors – currently bear the name Eugenia. That is 0.01 % of all living Americans.
For more than 140 years, parents decide to name their daughter Eugenia annualy. This means that there have been girls named Eugenia 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 Eugenia 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 Eugenia even more than any other time: in 1882, it holds its present record of rank #186 in the list of the most popular girls' names.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Eugenia was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
Eugenia has never been ranked higher than #186. In 2022, she rivaled the 2,629 names that preceded her on the list. In total, 56 girls named Eugenia were born in that year. For comparison: 30 years earlier, in 1992, when possibly the parents of the now very young Eugenia were born, there have been 92 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 seven letters, the name Eugenia has a typical length for first names in the US. In fact, 26% of all common first names consist of exactly seven letters. 52% of all first names are shorter, while 22% have eight 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 Eugenia 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...
