Galina is a first name for girls.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Galina in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Galina in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Galina by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Galina ranks at #8,560. That means there are 8,559 more common girls names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Galina.
In fact, the name Galina hardly fits the trend of first names for girls. Between 1976 and 1999, young parents changed that a bit. For many years, Galina wasn't given at all (or at least less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), but by 1999, the name was more popular than ever. Although the name never ranked higher than position 6,181, 14 parents chose it in 1999 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Galina, you were already special when you were born - and you did your best to become a trendsetter.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Galina was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the rare name Galina a few times. Among all newborn girls, it ranked 9,013, for a total of 9 babies. The name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it didn't appear at all for a many years. As Galina seems to be a bit more popular in the middle of the 20th century, it proves to remain a great rarity in 2022.
If you ever wanted to meet a girl or a woman named Galina, you have limited options – because girls with this beautiful name are currently living in . However, we must admit that a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if tehre are at least five people with that name living there – so it’s quite possible that there are still a few women and girls called Galina living in one state or another (if your name is Galina and you live outside of , we’d really appreciate it if you’d let us know, so we can refine our statistics even further). Which means – if you put this number in relation to the population of the USA – only one in 745,646 girls and women would turn around if you called out the name Galina. So, if your name is Galina it is very likely that you won’t need a nickname in your peer group, because having the name Galina already makes you 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 Galina 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 Galina 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...
