Keena is a female first name. In some cases it's also given to boys.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Keena in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Keena in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Keena by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Keena ranks at #8,778. That means there are 8,777 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 Keena.
The odds of having a woman or girl named Keena in your home state are about the same as the chance for a white Christmas in New York City – in both cases they are less than 30%. More precisely, the first name Keena 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 Keena live in Illinois, but even there the name is rather special – on average, you would have to ask 89,588 women and girls in Illinois for their name before you meet one who answers with Keena.
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 Keena 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 Keena 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...
