Marlana is a female first name.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Marlana in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Marlana in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Marlana by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Marlana ranks at #9,841. That means there are 9,840 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 Marlana.
The odds of living in the same state as someone with the first name Marlana are about the same as betting on heads or tails in a coin toss. This girl’s name is quite popular, but not equally so throughout the entire USA. You can meet girls and women with the name Marlana in 23 states – that is about every second of all 50 states in the USA, for example in Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia or Illinois. In relation to the number of residents, the most women and girls with the first name Marlana live in Georgia – here, one in 81,574 bears this beautiful name. In comparison, if we look at all living women and girls in the whole country, only one in 243,558 will turn around if you call her first name Marlana.
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.

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.
