Kiani is a female first name. In very rare cases it is also used for boys.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Kiani is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 2 out of 100,000 girls have been named Kiani. In the SmartGenius ranking, Kiani is #4,402 on the list of most common girls names. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Kiani.
In fact, the name Kiani hardly fits the trend of first names for girls. Between 1976 and 1999, young parents changed that a bit. For many years, Kiani 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 1994, the name was more popular than ever. Although the name never ranked higher than position 2,270, 51 parents chose it in 1994 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Kiani, 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 Kiani was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the rare name Kiani a few times. Among all newborn girls, it ranked 3,505, for a total of 37 babies. The name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it didn't appear at all for a many years. As Kiani seems to be a bit more popular in the middle of the 20th century, it proves to remain a great rarity in 2022.
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 Kiani 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 Kiani 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...
