Karena is a first name for girls.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Karena in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Karena in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Karena by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Karena ranks at #5,678. That means there are 5,677 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 Karena.
Karena is a quite familiar phenomenon. Before 1900, the name wasn't really on the radar of expectant parents. It took a while, but then, unexpectedly, Karena cried out for attention, reaching rank 991 in 1974. So, schoolkids of the late 19th century probably didn't have classmates named Karena and it has never reached the top 100 list in our statistics, but for a while it became more and more fashionable in the last century, which makes Karena really in tune with her generation.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Karena was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
7 babies were named Karena in 2022 - that's 1 in 21,175,986 newborn girls. With this number, the girls' name Karena ranked 10,613 in our SmartGenius first name statistics in 2022, the most recent year for which first records are available.
The odds of living in the same statae as someone named Karena 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 Karena is registered in 17 states, among which are California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois or Indiana. In proportion to the female population, most women and girls with the first name Karena live in California, and even there the name is rather special – only one in 30,685 would turn around if you called the name Karena across California.
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 Karena 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 Karena 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...
