Galena is a female first name.
Recently, the name Galena 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 Galena. That means that a girl named Galena is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name her whole life.
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 Galena. Girls named Galena have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it many years ago: Reaching pos. 1,307 Galena ranked higher than ever in 1902. By comparison, there have been 110 years in which the first name Galena 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 2012. In general, parents name their daughters Galena only once in a blue moon, so girls and women with this name can consider themselves really special!

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter G is quite rare as a first letter for girls' names: only 2.1% of all common girls' names in the US begin with a G. The most common first letters for girls' names are A and S, while U and X are the least common first letters of girls' names.
With six letters, the name Galena 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.
This means that if 2.1% of all girls' names begin with a G, this initial letter is less common than the other letters on average. Nevertheless, there are of course some names that begin with a G and are extremely popular, for example Grace, currently the most common girls' name with G.
If your name is Galena 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...
