The first name 
Kania

Kania is a female first name.

Kania – a very rare name!

Recently, the name Kania 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 Kania. That means that a girl named Kania 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 Kania.

Kania -
once in a blue moon

Do you know the feeling when you go to the zoo and the animal that is supposed to be in the enclosure is not there? You know it should to be there, but you've never seen it? It's the same with Kania. Girls named Kania have made themselves scarce. But some parents have recently gotten a taste for it: At No. 2,672 Kania ranked higher than ever in 2000. By comparison, there have been 108 years in which the first name Kania has not been given at all (or less than 5 times, which is the minimum number required for a name to be included in the statistics), most recently in 2021. In general, parents name their daughters Kania only once in a blue moon, so girls and women with this name can consider themselves really special!

In years where the graph has no value, the name Kania was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

Kania -
at home in Georgia and Illinois

Meeting a woman or girl named Kania is something really special. Out of all 50 states, women and girls named Kania can be found in only two: Georgia and Illinois. No other state currently has residents named Kania. However, we must admit that 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 quite possible that there are still a few women and girls called Kania living in one state or another (if your name is Kania and you live outside of Georgia or Illinois, we’d really appreciate it if you’d let us know so we can refine our statistics even further). Either way, the name is quite rare. The best chance of meeting a Kania is in Georgia, as there live more women and girls with this name in relation to the population than in any other state. But even here in Georgia, only 0.00031% of all female residents are named Kania – that’s just one in 320,022! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 25 women with that name. So, if your name is Kania, chances are you will never meet another woman with your beautiful first name.

Kania has 5 letters 
and begins with a K

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 five letters, the name Kania 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.

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.
