Jacinda is a female first name.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Jacinda in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Jacinda in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Jacinda by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Jacinda ranks at #5,324. That means there are 5,323 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 Jacinda.
In fact, the name Jacinda hardly fits the trend of first names for girls. Between 1976 and 1999, young parents changed that a bit. For many years, Jacinda wasn't given at all (or at least less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), but by 1996, the name was more popular than ever. Although the name never ranked higher than position 1,028, 169 parents chose it in 1996 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Jacinda, 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 Jacinda was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the rare name Jacinda a few times. Among all newborn girls, it ranked 6,090, for a total of 16 babies. The name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it didn't appear at all for a many years. As Jacinda seems to be a bit more popular in the middle of the 20th century, it proves to remain a great rarity in 2022.
You may not know anyone named Jacinda, but there’s a good chance you live in the same state as someone with that name. In fact, 25 states are home to women and girls named Jacinda. (To be fair, a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it’s entirely possible that there are still a few women and girls named Jacinda living in one state or another. If your name is Jacinda and you live outside of the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can refine our statistics even further). And while the first name is present in many states, it is still not one of the popular ones. In California, which has the most people named Jacinda relative to the population, you still have to ask 39,452 women and girls their names before you hear Jacinda as an answer just once.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter J is a particularly popular initial letter for girls' names. That’s because 6.8% of all common girls’ names in the US begin with this letter. By the way, the most common first letters for girls’ names are A, S and M.

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.

If your name is Jacinda 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...
