Massiel is a first name for girls.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Massiel in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Massiel in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Massiel by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Massiel ranks at #8,980. That means there are 8,979 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 Massiel.

Girls named Massiel have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it a few years ago: At No. 2,225 Massiel ranked higher than ever before in 1986. By comparison, there have been 92 years in which the first name Massiel has not been given at all (or less than 5 times, which is the minimum number required for a name to be included in the statistics), most recently in 2010. In general, parents name their daughters Massiel only once in a blue moon, so girls and women with this name can consider themselves exceptional!

The first name Massiel is a true rarity among all women and girls currently living in the United States – only 325 Americans in total bear this name. And these 325 women are located in only four states: California, New Jersey, 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 Massiel 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 Massiel in relation to it’s female population is New York. And yet even there, only one in 44,197 women would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Massiel.
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 seven letters, the name Massiel has a typical length for first names in the US. In fact, 26% of all common first names consist of exactly seven letters. 52% of all first names are shorter, while 22% have eight letters or more.
