The first name 
Halyn

Halyn is a female first name.

Halyn – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a girl named Halyn in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Halyn in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Halyn by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Halyn ranks at #7,869. That means there are 7,868 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 Halyn.

Halyn -
at home in California and Texas

If you ever wanted to meet a girl or a woman named Halyn, you have limited options – because girls with this beautiful name are currently living in California and Texas. 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 Halyn living in one state or another (if your name is Halyn and you live outside of California and Texas, 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 1,491,291 girls and women would turn around if you called out the name Halyn. So, if your name is Halyn it is very likely that you won’t need a nickname in your peer group, because having the name Halyn already makes you special.

Halyn has 5 letters 
and begins with an H

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter H is quite rare as a first letter for girls' names: only 1.7% of all common girls' names in the US begin with H. 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 five letters, the name Halyn is comparatively short. In fact, 17.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly five letters. Only 7% of all first names are even shorter, while 75% have more than five letters. 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.

Therefore: As 1.7% of all girls' names begin with an H, this initial letter is less common than the other letters on average. Interesting detail: of all the names that begin with an H, Helen is the most common.

Other names with 
H, a, l, y and n

If you take all the letters in the name Halyn – H, a, l, y and n – and put them together again, you can form other names, such as Hylan or others.
