Leita is a first name for girls.
Recently, the name Leita has been given only a handful of times a year and is therefore particularly rare, at least in the US. In recent years, not even one girl in 100,000 has been named Leita. That means that a girl named Leita is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name her whole life. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Leita.
If your name is Leita your parents may be very proud to let their daughter swim against the tide: The name Leita never ranked higher than position 1,150 in our statistics, and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea of naming their daughter Leita. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1904 to choose the name more often than usual - only compared to the rest of the time, of course. You probably still won't find many children named Leita because that was several decades ago - unless, of course, you have some very creative parents in the neighborhood.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Leita was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
As in the last century, Leita still proves to be very exceptional. In 2022, for example, it was not given once in the entire U.S. - or, to be more precise, it was given at most four times, because names given less than five times in one year are not included in the official statistics. So if you know someone named Leita who was born in 2022, please let us know - we would be very interested in hearing about it so that we can provide you with even more accurate statistics.
Meeting a woman or girl named Leita is something really special. Out of all 50 states, women and girls named Leita can be found in only : . No other state currently has residents named Leita. 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 Leita living in one state or another (if your name is Leita and you live outside of , 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 Leita is in Texas, as there live more women and girls with this name in relation to the population than in any other state. But even here in Texas, only 0.00004% of all female residents are named Leita – that’s just one in 2,241,104! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 5 women with that name. So, if your name is Leita, chances are you will never meet another woman with your beautiful first name.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself!

If your name is Leita 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...
