Leyda is a first name for girls.
Recently, the name Leyda 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 Leyda. That means that a girl named Leyda 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 Leyda.
Do you know the feeling when you go to the zoo and the animal that is supposed to be in the enclosure is not there? You know it should to be there, but you've never seen it? It's the same with Leyda. Girls named Leyda have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it many years ago: Reaching pos. 4,104 Leyda ranked higher than ever in 1959. By comparison, there have been 99 years in which the first name Leyda has not been given at all (or less than 5 times, which is the minimum number required for a name to be included in the statistics), most recently in 2017. In general, parents name their daughters Leyda only once in a blue moon, so girls and women with this name can consider themselves really special!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Leyda was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

Meeting a woman or girl named Leyda is something really special. Out of all 50 states, women and girls named Leyda can be found in only two: California and New York. No other state currently has residents named Leyda. 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 Leyda living in one state or another (if your name is Leyda and you live outside of California or New York, 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 Leyda 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 0.00015% of all female residents are named Leyda – that’s just one in 648,388! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 28 women with that name. So, if your name is Leyda, 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 Leyda 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 Leyda 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...
