Ivelisse -
special from day one

In fact, the name Ivelisse wasn't vogue in the 19th century, but between 1900 and 1975 young parents changed that a bit. After several years of not being given at all (or less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), Ivelisse seemed more popular than ever in 1964, when 32 parents named their daughters Ivelisse. Although the name never ranked higher than #1,956, that year parents chose it as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Ivelisse, 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 Ivelisse was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

Ivelisse - originality welcome!

In 2022, expectant parents chose the rare name Ivelisse a few times. Among all newborn girls, it ranked 4,546, for a total of 25 babies. The name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it supposedly didn't appear at all for a many years. As Ivelisse seems to be a bit more popular in the middle of the 20th century, it proves to remain a great rarity in 2022.

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

It is not so easy to find a woman or girl named Ivelisse 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 859 women and girls named Ivelisse, but there are vast areas of the country where not a single person with this name can be found. In fact, the 859 women and girls named Ivelisse live in no more than 7 different states, including for example Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts and New Jersey. In all other 42 states, there are no – or, to be precise, less than a handful – women called Ivelisse. (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 Ivelisse lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Ivelisse 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 Ivelisse relative to its female population is New York. And even there, only one in 18,912 women and girls would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Ivelisse.

Ivelisse has 8 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 eight letters, the name Ivelisse is long compared to other names. In fact, 14.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly eight letters. 78% of all first names are shorter, while only 8% of all boys’ and girls’ names use nine letters or even more. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long with 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
