Lyna is a female first name.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Lyna in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Lyna in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Lyna by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Lyna ranks at #6,125. That means there are 6,124 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 Lyna.
If your name is Lyna your parents may be very proud to let their daughter swim against the tide: The name Lyna never ranked higher than position 1,755 in our statistics, and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea of naming their daughter Lyna. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1911 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 Lyna 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 Lyna was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
As in the last century, Lyna still proves to be exceptional. Even in 2022, the name was given very rarely - in fact, only 25 times in the entire U.S. So, a Lyna from 2022 will need very good binoculars to spot the next namesake of the same age.
Meeting a woman or girl named Lyna is something really special. Out of all 50 states, women and girls named Lyna can be found in only two: California and Texas. No other state currently has residents named Lyna. 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 Lyna living in one state or another (if your name is Lyna and you live outside of California 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 Lyna 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 0.00062% of all female residents are named Lyna – that’s just one in 162,097! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 103 women with that name. So, if your name is Lyna, 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 four letters, the name Lyna is shorter than most other given names. In fact, only 5.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly four letters. Just 1.2% of all first names are even shorter, while 93% consist of more than four 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 Lyna 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...
So that everyone really understands you when you have to spell the name Lyna, you can simply say:
Lion
Yoyo
Nut
Apple
