Lenita is a female first name.
Recently, the name Lenita 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 Lenita. That means that a girl named Lenita 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 Lenita.
If your name is Lenita your parents may be very proud to let their daughter swim against the tide: The name Lenita never ranked higher than position 1,610 in our statistics, and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea of naming their daughter Lenita. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1954 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 Lenita 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 Lenita was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
As in the last century, Lenita 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 Lenita 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.
It is not so easy to find a woman or girl named Lenita in the USA. Although the name is not sooooo rare overall, it is only at home in a few selected regions of the USA. In the entire United States there are currently a total of 53 women and girls named Lenita, but there are vast areas of the country where not a single person with this name can be found. In fact, the 53 women and girls named Lenita live in no more than 8 different states, including for example Alabama, California, Florida, Illinois and Mississippi. In all other 41 states, there are no – or, to be precise, less than a handful – women called Lenita. (To explain: The official statistics provide the data per state only if at least five women with a specific name live in the same state. So, it’s quite possible that there are one or two states where someone with the name Lenita lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Lenita and you live outside the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics.). The state with the most girls and women named Lenita relative to its female population is Oklahoma. And even there, only one in 289,698 women and girls would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Lenita.
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 six letters, the name Lenita is of average length. In fact, 28% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly six letters. 24% of all first names are shorter, while 48% have seven letters or more. 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 Lenita 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 Lenita, you can simply say:

Elephant
Nut
