The first name 
Mayela

Mayela is a first name for girls.

Mayela – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a girl named Mayela in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Mayela in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Mayela by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Mayela ranks at #7,378. That means there are 7,377 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 Mayela.

Mayela -
special from day one

In fact, the name Mayela hardly fits the trend of first names for girls. Between 1976 and 1999, young parents changed that a bit. For many years, Mayela wasn't given at all (or at least less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), but by 1995, the name was more popular than ever. Although the name never ranked higher than position 3,443, 28 parents chose it in 1995 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Mayela, you were already special when you were born - and you did your best to become a trendsetter.

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

Mayela - originality welcome!

In 2022, expectant parents chose the rare name Mayela a few times. Among all newborn girls, it ranked 6,358, for a total of 15 babies. The name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it didn't appear at all for a many years. As Mayela seems to be a bit more popular in the middle of the 20th century, it proves to remain a great rarity in 2022.

Mayela 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 Mayela 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.

Other names with
