The first name 
Keerthana

Keerthana is a female first name.

Keerthana – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a girl named Keerthana in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Keerthana in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Keerthana by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Keerthana ranks at #9,127. That means there are 9,126 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 Keerthana.

The first name Keerthana is a true rarity among all women and girls currently living in the United States – only 44 Americans in total bear this name. And these 44 women are located in only three states: California, New Jersey and Texas (it should be noted that the official statistics provide the data per state only if there are at least 5 women with this name in the state. So, if your name is Keerthana and you live outside the states marked on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics). The state with the most girls and women named Keerthana in relation to it’s female population is New Jersey. And yet even there, only one in 350,721 women would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Keerthana.

Keerthana has 9 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 nine letters, the name Keerthana is relatively long compared to other names. In fact, 5.6% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly nine letters. 92% of all first names are shorter, while not even 2.5% of all boys’ and girls’ names use ten or more letters. 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.
