The first name 
Maclovia

Maclovia is a first name for girls.

Maclovia – a very rare name!

Recently, the name Maclovia has been given only a handful of times a year and is therefore particularly rare, at least in the US. In recent years, not even one girl in 100,000 has been named Maclovia. That means that a girl named Maclovia is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name her whole life. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Maclovia.

Maclovia -
at home in Arizona and Texas

Meeting a woman or girl named Maclovia is something really special. Out of all 50 states, women and girls named Maclovia can be found in only two: Arizona and Texas. No other state currently has residents named Maclovia. 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 Maclovia living in one state or another (if your name is Maclovia and you live outside of Arizona 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 Maclovia is in Arizona, as there live more women and girls with this name in relation to the population than in any other state. But even here in Arizona, only 0.00029% of all female residents are named Maclovia – that’s just one in 347,237! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 10 women with that name. So, if your name is Maclovia, chances are you will never meet another woman with your beautiful first name.

Maclovia has 8 letters 
and begins with an M

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter M is a quite popular first letter for girls' names. That’s because 8.5% of all common girls’ names in the US begin with this letter. Only the first letters A and S are more common for girls' names.

With eight letters, the name Maclovia is long compared to other names. In fact, 14.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly eight letters. 78% of all first names are shorter, while only 8% of all boys’ and girls’ names use nine letters or even more. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long with no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.

Therefore: As 8.5% of all girls' names start with an M, this initial letter occurs nearly 2.5-times as often as all 26 letters on average – and the most common one of all the girls’ names starting with M is Mary.
