The first name 
Lucilla

Lucilla is a first name for girls.

Lucilla – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a girl named Lucilla in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Lucilla in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Lucilla by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Lucilla ranks at #7,953. That means there are 7,952 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 Lucilla.

Lucilla -
swimming against the tide

If your name is Lucilla your parents may be very proud to let their daughter swim against the tide: The name Lucilla never ranked higher than position 1,262 in our statistics, and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea of naming their daughter Lucilla. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1909 to choose the name more often than usual - only compared to the rest of the time, of course. You probably still won't find many children named Lucilla because that was several decades ago - unless, of course, you have some very creative parents in the neighborhood.

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

2022 - looking for Lucilla?

As in the last century, Lucilla still proves to be exceptional. Even in 2022, the name was given very rarely - in fact, only 8 times in the entire U.S. So, a Lucilla from 2022 will need very good binoculars to spot the next namesake of the same age.

Lucilla -
at home in New Mexico and Texas

Meeting a woman or girl named Lucilla is something really special. Out of all 50 states, women and girls named Lucilla can be found in only two: New Mexico and Texas. No other state currently has residents named Lucilla. 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 Lucilla living in one state or another (if your name is Lucilla and you live outside of New Mexico or Texas, 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 Lucilla is in New Mexico, as there live more women and girls with this name in relation to the population than in any other state. But even here in New Mexico, only 0.00063% of all female residents are named Lucilla – that’s just one in 158,103! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 58 women with that name. So, if your name is Lucilla, chances are you will never meet another woman with your beautiful first name.
