The first name 
Marquitta

Marquitta is a female first name.

Marquitta – a very rare name!

Recently, the name Marquitta 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 Marquitta. That means that a girl named Marquitta 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 Marquitta.

Marquitta -
a Dinosaur?

Is the name Marquitta a dinosaur? We would say: It's classic! Parents chose this name most often in 1983, when it ranked #958 with 138 newborn girls receiving this special first name. In times of emerging digitalization, it thus experienced its last peak. Since Marquitta is both classic and fancy at the same time, people didn't always come up with the idea of giving their daughter this unusual name. So, if your name is Marquitta, feel classic and not old-fashioned, because after all, you stand out with your name these days!

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

Marquitta has 9 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 nine letters, the name Marquitta is relatively long compared to other names. In fact, 5.6% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly nine letters. 92% of all first names are shorter, while not even 2.5% of all boys’ and girls’ names use ten or more letters. 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.
