The first name

Leora is a first name typically given to girls, but in rare cases also used as a boys name.

Leora is a well-known but special name!

Leora 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 1,847 in the SmartGenius statistics. This means there are 1,846 girls names that are more common, but also tens of thousands that are much rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Leora.

Leora -
evergreen, but special

For more than 140 years, parents decide to name their daughter Leora annualy. This means that there have been girls named Leora 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 Leora 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 Leora even more than any other time: in 1880, it holds its present record of rank #288 in the list of the most popular girls' names.

In years where the graph has no value, the name Leora was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

How popular was Leora 2022 among young parents?

Leora has never been ranked higher than #288. In 2022, she rivaled the 1,658 names that preceded her on the list. In total, 110 girls named Leora were born in that year. For comparison: 30 years earlier, in 1992, when possibly the parents of the now very young Leora were born, there have been 37 newborns who received this name.

Leora has 5 letters 
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. By the way, the most common first letters for girls’ names are A and S.

With five letters, the name Leora 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.
