Kalina is a first name for girls.
Kalina is a well-known name in the US, but is still special. It is currently only given to every ten thousandth girl, and therefore ranks at 1,448 in the SmartGenius statistics. This means there are 1,447 girls names that are more common, but also tens of thousands that are much rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Kalina.
In fact, the name Kalina did not fit the trend of the last century. Young parents in the 2000s began to change 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), Kalina seemed to be more popular than ever in 2019. Although the name never ranked higher than #1,220, 170 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Kalina, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Kalina was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the yet rare name Kalina a few times. Among all newborn girls it ranked #1,458 - with a total of 131 baby girls. This means, as you can see above, that the name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it supposedly didn't appear at all for many years - giving girls with this first name a sheen of something particularly contemporary and special.
The odds of living in the same state as someone with the first name Kalina are about the same as betting on heads or tails in a coin toss. This girl’s name is quite popular, but not equally so throughout the entire USA. You can meet girls and women with the name Kalina in 24 states – that is about every second of all 50 states in the USA, for example in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida or Georgia. In relation to the number of residents, the most women and girls with the first name Kalina live in Florida – here, one in 20,631 bears this beautiful name. In comparison, if we look at all living women and girls in the whole country, only one in 79,965 will turn around if you call her first name Kalina.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter K is a real popular first letter for girls' names. That’s because 7.5% of all common girls’ names in the US begin with this letter. Only the first letters A, S and M are more common for girls' names.
With six letters, the name Kalina is of average length. In fact, 28% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly six letters. 24% of all first names are shorter, while 48% have seven 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.
That means that if 7.5% of all girls' names start with a K, this initial letter occurs more than twice as often as all 26 letters on average. Interesting detail: of all the girls' names that begin with a K, Karen is the most common.
If your name is Kalina 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...
