The first name 
Hjordis

Hjordis is a first name for girls.

Hjordis – a very rare name!

Recently, the name Hjordis 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 Hjordis. That means that a girl named Hjordis is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name her whole life. Of all Americans currently living, not even one in 100,000 would answer if you shouted out the name Hjordis.

Hjordis -
something very, very special - even in her home state Minnesota!

If you’re looking for someone named Hjordis, you might want to head to Minnesota. Why Minnesota of all places? Well, simply because, according to official statistics, there are no women or girls named Hjordis living in any other state. However, we have to admit that a first name is only listed in the official statistics of a state if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it may well be that there are still a few women and girls named Hjordis living in one state or another. But, in any case the name is extremely rare (if your name happens to be Hjordis and you live outside of Minnesota, we would be very grateful if you could let us know so that we can refine our statistics even further). By the way, even in Minnesota, the name Hjordis is not really that common – there are only 5 women and girls with this name living there right now, which is not more than 0.00018% of all female residents of Minnesota – so if you are one of them, you can rightly say that you are someone very special!

Hjordis has 7 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 seven letters, the name Hjordis has a typical length for first names in the US. In fact, 26% of all common first names consist of exactly seven letters. 52% of all first names are shorter, while 22% have eight 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.
