The first name 
Leba

Leba is a first name for girls.

Leba – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a girl named Leba in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Leba in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Leba by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Leba ranks at #9,590. That means there are 9,589 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 Leba.

Leba -
at home in New Jersey and New York

Meeting a woman or girl named Leba is something really special. Out of all 50 states, women and girls named Leba can be found in only two: New Jersey and New York. No other state currently has residents named Leba. However, we must admit that a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it’s quite possible that there are still a few women and girls called Leba living in one state or another (if your name is Leba and you live outside of New Jersey or New York, we’d really appreciate it if you’d let us know so we can refine our statistics even further). Either way, the name is quite rare. The best chance of meeting a Leba is in New Jersey, as there live more women and girls with this name in relation to the population than in any other state. But even here in New Jersey, only 0.00076% of all female residents are named Leba – that’s just one in 131,520! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 63 women with that name. So, if your name is Leba, chances are you will never meet another woman with your beautiful first name.

and begins with an L

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter L is a particularly popular initial letter for girls' names – 6.8% of all common girls’ names in the US begin with this letter.
