Haneen -
special from day one

In fact, the name Haneen hardly fits the trend of first names for girls. Between 1976 and 1999, young parents changed that a bit. For many years, Haneen 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 1997, the name was more popular than ever. Although the name never ranked higher than position 2,739, 40 parents chose it in 1997 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Haneen, 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 Haneen was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

Haneen - originality welcome!

In 2022, expectant parents chose the rare name Haneen a few times. Among all newborn girls, it ranked 4,122, for a total of 29 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 Haneen seems to be a bit more popular in the middle of the 20th century, it proves to remain a great rarity in 2022.

Haneen -
at home only in a few regions of the USA

It is not so easy to find a woman or girl named Haneen in the USA. Although the name is not sooooo rare overall, it is only at home in a few selected regions of the USA. In the entire United States there are currently a total of 254 women and girls named Haneen, but there are vast areas of the country where not a single person with this name can be found. In fact, the 254 women and girls named Haneen live in no more than 8 different states, including for example California, Illinois, Michigan, New Jersey and New York. In all other 41 states, there are no – or, to be precise, less than a handful – women called Haneen. (To explain: The official statistics provide the data per state only if at least five women with a specific name live in the same state. So, it’s quite possible that there are one or two states where someone with the name Haneen lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Haneen and you live outside the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics.). The state with the most girls and women named Haneen relative to its female population is Illinois. And even there, only one in 90,104 women and girls would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Haneen.

Haneen has 6 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 six letters, the name Haneen 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.

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.
