Hanah is a first name for girls.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Hanah in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Hanah in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Hanah by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Hanah ranks at #5,324. That means there are 5,323 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 Hanah.
In fact, the name Hanah hardly fits the trend of first names for girls. Between 1976 and 1999, young parents changed that a bit. For many years, Hanah 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 1,466, 108 parents chose it in 1999 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Hanah, 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 Hanah was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the rare name Hanah a few times. Among all newborn girls, it ranked 6,358, for a total of 15 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 Hanah seems to be a bit more popular in the middle of the 20th century, it proves to remain a great rarity in 2022.
The odds of living in the same statae as someone named Hanah are about the same as meeting someone with blue eyes in the entire country – both odds are about 25 to 30 %. More precisely, the first name Hanah is registered in 19 states, among which are Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia or Illinois. In proportion to the female population, most women and girls with the first name Hanah live in Texas, and even there the name is rather special – only one in 77,816 would turn around if you called the name Hanah across Texas.
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 Hanah 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.
If your name is Hanah 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...
