Lissa is a female first name.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Lissa in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Lissa in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Lissa by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Lissa ranks at #7,476. That means there are 7,475 more common girls names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Lissa.
The odds of living in the same statae as someone named Lissa are about the same as meeting someone with blue eyes in the entire country – both odds are about 25 to 30 %. More precisely, the first name Lissa is registered in 18 states, among which are Alabama, Arizona, California, Connecticut or Florida. In proportion to the female population, most women and girls with the first name Lissa live in California, and even there the name is rather special – only one in 31,330 would turn around if you called the name Lissa across California.
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 Lissa 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 Lissa 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...
