Johna is a first name typically given to girls, but in rare cases also used as a boys name.
Recently, the name Johna 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 Johna. That means that a girl named Johna is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name her whole life. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Johna.
If your name is Johna your parents may be very proud to let their daughter swim against the tide: The name Johna never ranked higher than position 1,046 in our statistics, and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea of naming their daughter Johna. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1963 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 Johna 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 Johna was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
As in the last century, Johna still proves to be very exceptional. In 2022, for example, it was not given once in the entire U.S. - or, to be more precise, it was given at most four times, because names given less than five times in one year are not included in the official statistics. So if you know someone named Johna who was born in 2022, please let us know - we would be very interested in hearing about it so that we can provide you with even more accurate statistics.
The odds of living in the same statae as someone named Johna are about the same as meeting someone with blue eyes in the entire country – both odds are about 25 to 30 %. More precisely, the first name Johna is registered in 15 states, among which are Alabama, California, Indiana, Kansas or Louisiana. In proportion to the female population, most women and girls with the first name Johna live in Oklahoma, and even there the name is rather special – only one in 63,371 would turn around if you called the name Johna across Oklahoma.
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 five letters, the name Johna 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.
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.
If your name is Johna 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...
