Mahina -

In fact, the name Mahina did not fit the trend of the last century. Young parents in the 2000s began to change that a bit. After several years of not being given at all (or less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), Mahina seemed to be more popular than ever in 2022. Although the name never ranked higher than #2,738, 53 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Mahina, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.

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

Mahina has 6 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 six letters, the name Mahina is of average length. In fact, 28% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly six letters. 24% of all first names are shorter, while 48% have seven letters or more. 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.

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.
