The first name 
Ilany

Ilany is a female first name.

Ilany – a very rare name!

Recently, the name Ilany 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 Ilany. That means that a girl named Ilany 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 Ilany.

Ilany -
something very, very special - even in her home state California!

If you’re looking for someone named Ilany, you might want to head to California. Why California of all places? Well, simply because, according to official statistics, there are no women or girls named Ilany 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 Ilany living in one state or another. But, in any case the name is extremely rare (if your name happens to be Ilany and you live outside of California, 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 California, the name Ilany is not really that common – there are only 5 women and girls with this name living there right now, which is not more than 0.00003% of all female residents of California – so if you are one of them, you can rightly say that you are someone very special!

Ilany has 5 letters 
and begins with an I

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter I is pretty rare as an initial letter for girls' names: only 1.7% of all common girls' names in the US begin with an I. 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 Ilany 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.

That means that since 1.7% of all girls’ names begin with an I, this initial occurs only about half as often as the other letters on average. Nevertheless, there are of course single names that begin with an I, which are quite popular

Other names with 
I, l, a, n and y

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