The first name 
Jema

Jema is a female first name.

Jema – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a girl named Jema in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Jema in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Jema by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Jema ranks at #6,228. That means there are 6,227 more common girls names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. Of all Americans currently living, not even one in 100,000 would answer if you shouted out the name Jema.

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

If you’re looking for someone named Jema, 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 Jema 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 Jema living in one state or another. But, in any case the name is extremely rare (if your name happens to be Jema 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 Jema 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!

Jema has 4 letters 
and begins with a J

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.

With four letters, the name Jema is shorter than most other given names. In fact, only 5.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly four letters. Just 1.2% of all first names are even shorter, while 93% consist of more than four 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.

This means that with 6.8% of all girls' names that begin with the letter J, this first letter is much more common than the other letters on average. And Jennifer is the girls' name starting with J, which is the most common of all.
