Helyn is a first name for girls.
Recently, the name Helyn 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 Helyn. That means that a girl named Helyn is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name her whole life. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Helyn.
Is the name Helyn a dinosaur? We would say: It's classic! Chosen by 62 parents, the name was given most frequently in 1917 – at that time, it ranked #831. It thus experienced its last peak in a world without internet and cell phones, even before the first personal computer was built. (Do you remember? Those were those big boxes that couldn't even begin to do what a simple robot vacuum cleaner can do today). Since Helyn is both classic and fancy at the same time, people didn't always come up with the idea of giving their child this unusual name. So, if your name is Helyn, feel classic and not old-fashioned, because after all, you stand out with your name these days!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Helyn was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

It is not so easy to find a woman or girl named Helyn 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 170 women and girls named Helyn, but there are vast areas of the country where not a single person with this name can be found. In fact, the 170 women and girls named Helyn live in no more than 8 different states, including for example California, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota and Nebraska. In all other 41 states, there are no – or, to be precise, less than a handful – women called Helyn. (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 Helyn lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Helyn 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 Helyn relative to its female population is Pennsylvania. And even there, only one in 121,461 women and girls would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Helyn.
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 Helyn 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 Helyn 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...
So that everyone really understands you when you have to spell the name Helyn, you can simply say:
