Ilena is a female first name.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Ilena in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Ilena in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Ilena by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Ilena ranks at #7,819. That means there are 7,818 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 Ilena.
If your name is Ilena your parents may be very proud to let their daughter swim against the tide: The name Ilena never ranked higher than position 2,068 in our statistics, and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea of naming their daughter Ilena. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1931 to choose the name more often than usual - only compared to the rest of the time, of course. You probably still won't find many children named Ilena because that was several decades ago - unless, of course, you have some very creative parents in the neighborhood.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Ilena was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
As in the last century, Ilena still proves to be exceptional. Even in 2022, the name was given very rarely - in fact, only 13 times in the entire U.S. So, a Ilena from 2022 will need very good binoculars to spot the next namesake of the same age.
The first name Ilena is a true rarity among all women and girls currently living in the United States – only 15 Americans in total bear this name. And these 15 women are located in only three states: California, New York and Texas (it should be noted that the official statistics provide the data per state only if there are at least 5 women with this name in the state. So, if your name is Ilena and you live outside the states marked on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics). The state with the most girls and women named Ilena in relation to it’s female population is Texas. And yet even there, only one in 2,241,104 women would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Ilena.
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 Ilena 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
If your name is Ilena 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 Ilena, you can simply say:
