Madalena is a first name for girls.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Madalena in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Madalena in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Madalena by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Madalena ranks at #5,817. That means there are 5,816 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 Madalena.
If your name is Madalena your parents may be very proud to let their daughter swim against the tide: The name Madalena never ranked higher than position 2,197 in our statistics, and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea of naming their daughter Madalena. 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 Madalena 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 Madalena was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
As in the last century, Madalena still proves to be exceptional. Even in 2022, the name was given very rarely - in fact, only 21 times in the entire U.S. So, a Madalena from 2022 will need very good binoculars to spot the next namesake of the same age.
The first name Madalena is a true rarity among all women and girls currently living in the United States – only 40 Americans in total bear this name. And these 40 women are located in only four states: California, Florida, New York and Texas (it should be noted that the official statistics provide the data per state only if there are at least 5 women with this name in the state. So, if your name is Madalena and you live outside the states marked on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics). The state with the most girls and women named Madalena in relation to it’s female population is California. And yet even there, only one in 596,517 women would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Madalena.
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 Madalena 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.
If your name is Madalena 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...
