Lenora is a first name typically given to girls, but in rare cases also used as a boys name.
Lenora is a well-known name in the US, but is still special. It is currently only given to every ten thousandth girl, and therefore ranks at 1,176 in the SmartGenius statistics. This means there are 1,175 girls names that are more common, but also tens of thousands that are much rarer. In the entire USA, approximately 27,473 people – children, adults and seniors – currently bear the name Lenora. That is 0.01 % of all living Americans.
For more than 140 years, parents decide to name their daughter Lenora annualy. This means that there have been girls named Lenora who witnessed the first Labor Day parade in the U.S. or followed Albert Einstein's career. The name has 'always been there', but never ranked in the top 100, and thus women named Lenora have consistently been special. The name was particularly popular a long time ago in the 19th century. In one particular year, long before the first passenger flight and even before there was the first real radio, parents liked Lenora even more than any other time: in 1881, it holds its present record of rank #178 in the list of the most popular girls' names.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Lenora was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
Lenora has never been ranked higher than #178. In 2022, she rivaled the 839 names that preceded her on the list. In total, 289 girls named Lenora were born in that year. For comparison: 30 years earlier, in 1992, when possibly the parents of the now very young Lenora were born, there have been 62 newborns who received this 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 six letters, the name Lenora 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 Lenora 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...
