Keana is a first name for girls.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Keana in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Keana in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Keana by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Keana ranks at #5,257. That means there are 5,256 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 Keana.
Keana is a phenomenon of Generation X and Y. Previously, the name wasn't really on the radar of expectant parents. Schoolkids of the early 20th century probably didn't have classmates named Keana - until this very name unexpectedly cried out for attention and peaked in popularity at rank number 967 in 1995. Although it has never reached the top 100 list, this girls' name seems to have been in vogue for a while, which makes Keana really in tune with her generation.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Keana was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
28 babies were named Keana in 2022 - that's 1 in 5,293,996 newborn girls. With this number, the girls' name Keana ranked 4,219 in our SmartGenius first name statistics in 2022, the most recent year for which records are available.
The odds of living in the same state as someone with the first name Keana 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 Keana in 23 states – that is about every second of all 50 states in the USA, for example in Alabama, Arizona, California, Florida or Georgia. In relation to the number of residents, the most women and girls with the first name Keana live in Hawaii – here, one in 13,791 bears this beautiful name. In comparison, if we look at all living women and girls in the whole country, only one in 135,715 will turn around if you call her first name Keana.
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 Keana 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.
If your name is Keana 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...
