Keniya is a female first name.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Keniya in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Keniya in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Keniya by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Keniya ranks at #6,845. That means there are 6,844 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 Keniya.
It is not so easy to find a woman or girl named Keniya in the USA. Although the name is not sooooo rare overall, it is only at home in a few selected regions of the USA. In the entire United States there are currently a total of 98 women and girls named Keniya, but there are vast areas of the country where not a single person with this name can be found. In fact, the 98 women and girls named Keniya live in no more than 8 different states, including for example California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois and Louisiana. In all other 41 states, there are no – or, to be precise, less than a handful – women called Keniya. (To explain: The official statistics provide the data per state only if at least five women with a specific name live in the same state. So, it’s quite possible that there are one or two states where someone with the name Keniya lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Keniya and you live outside the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics.). The state with the most girls and women named Keniya relative to its female population is Florida. And even there, only one in 125,903 women and girls would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Keniya.
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 Keniya 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 Keniya 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...
So that everyone really understands you when you have to spell the name Keniya, you can simply say:
