Keona -
special from day one

In fact, the name Keona hardly fits the trend of first names for girls. Between 1976 and 1999, young parents changed that a bit. For many years, Keona wasn't given at all (or at least less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), but by 1992, the name was more popular than ever. Although the name never ranked higher than position 1,233, 128 parents chose it in 1992 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Keona, you were already special when you were born - and you did your best to become a trendsetter.

In years where the graph has no value, the name Keona was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

Keona has 5 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 five letters, the name Keona 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.
