Loryn is a female first name.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Loryn is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 2 out of 100,000 girls have been named Loryn. In the SmartGenius ranking, Loryn is #4,652 on the list of most common girls names. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Loryn.
In fact, the name Loryn hardly fits the trend of first names for girls. Between 1976 and 1999, young parents changed that a bit. For many years, Loryn wasn't given at all (or at least less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), but by 1999, the name was more popular than ever. Although the name never ranked higher than position 1,984, 71 parents chose it in 1999 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Loryn, you were already special when you were born - and you did your best to become a trendsetter.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Loryn was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the rare name Loryn a few times. Among all newborn girls, it ranked 5,250, for a total of 20 babies. The name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it didn't appear at all for a many years. As Loryn seems to be a bit more popular in the middle of the 20th century, it proves to remain a great rarity in 2022.
It is not so easy to find a woman or girl named Loryn 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 323 women and girls named Loryn, but there are vast areas of the country where not a single person with this name can be found. In fact, the 323 women and girls named Loryn live in no more than 9 different states, including for example California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois and Indiana. In all other 40 states, there are no – or, to be precise, less than a handful – women called Loryn. (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 Loryn lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Loryn 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 Loryn relative to its female population is Texas. And even there, only one in 66,305 women and girls would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Loryn.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself!

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...
