Then, unexpectedly, Katalina cried out for attention, reaching its peak in popularity at #438 in our SmartGenius statistics in the year 2022. People over 50 probably didn't have classmates named Katalina, for there were many years in which not a single parent chose this first name for their daughter.

In years where the graph has no value, the name Katalina was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
You may not know anyone named Katalina, but there’s a good chance you live in the same state as someone with that name. In fact, 38 states are home to women and girls named Katalina. (To be fair, 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 entirely possible that there are still a few women and girls named Katalina living in one state or another. If your name is Katalina and you live outside of the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can refine our statistics even further). And while the first name is present in many states, it is still not one of the popular ones.

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.

With eight letters, the name Katalina is long compared to other names. In fact, 14.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly eight letters. 78% of all first names are shorter, while only 8% of all boys’ and girls’ names use nine letters or even more. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long with 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.
