The first name 
Lynna

Lynna is a first name for girls.

Lynna – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a girl named Lynna in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Lynna in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Lynna by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Lynna ranks at #8,509. That means there are 8,508 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 Lynna.

Lynna -
an underrated contemporary

While Lynna is not one of the most popular names of all time, it seems to have attracted parents especially more than 50 years ago in the last century. In 1951, the name Lynna reached its highest popularity with #1,511 in our ranking of all female first names. As it is so exquisite, mothers and fathers did not always come up with the idea of naming their daughter Lynna. Perhaps it was because the name was only occasionally in keeping with the spirit of the times - and girls in those decades were given the unusual and beautiful name of Lynna.

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

Lynna in 2022 – marvelously unusual

In 2022, 10 babies were born with the name Lynna. This puts the name in rank 8,408 in the SmartGenius statistics - or in other words, one in 14,823,190 newborns was named Lynna that year. Ever since first names have been registered, Lynna has been and remains marvelously unusual!

at home only in a few regions of the USA

The state with the most girls and women named Lynna in relation to it’s female population is Texas. And yet even there, only one in 136,653 women would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Lynna.

Lynna has 5 letters 
and begins with an L

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 Lynna 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.
