Leina is a first name for girls.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Leina 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 Leina. In the SmartGenius ranking, Leina 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 Leina.
In fact, the name Leina did not fit the trend of the last century. Young parents in the 2000s began to change that a bit. After several years of not being given at all (or less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), Leina seemed to be more popular than ever in 2020. Although the name never ranked higher than #3,360, 38 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Leina, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Leina was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the yet rare name Leina a few times. Among all newborn girls it ranked #4,797 - with a total of 23 baby girls. This means, as you can see above, that the name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it supposedly didn't appear at all for many years - giving girls with this first name a sheen of something particularly contemporary and special.
Meeting a woman or girl named Leina is something really special. Out of all 50 states, women and girls named Leina can be found in only two: California and Texas. No other state currently has residents named Leina. 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 Leina living in one state or another (if your name is Leina and you live outside of California or Texas, 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 Leina is in California, as there live more women and girls with this name in relation to the population than in any other state. But even here in California, only 0.00040% of all female residents are named Leina – that’s just one in 248,549! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 77 women with that name. So, if your name is Leina, chances are you will never meet another woman with your beautiful first name.
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. By the way, the most common first letters for girls’ names are A and S.
With five letters, the name Leina 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 with 6.8% of all girls' names that begin with an L, this first letter is much more common than the other letters on average. If you are now wondering which girls' name with L is the most common... the answer is Linda.
If your name is Leina 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 Leina, you can simply say:
