Melida is a female first name.
Recently, the name Melida 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 Melida. That means that a girl named Melida 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 Melida.
If your name is Melida your parents may be very proud to let their daughter swim against the tide: The name Melida never ranked higher than position 2,548 in our statistics, and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea of naming their daughter Melida. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1933 to choose the name more often than usual - only compared to the rest of the time, of course. You probably still won't find many children named Melida because that was several decades ago - unless, of course, you have some very creative parents in the neighborhood.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Melida was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
As in the last century, Melida still proves to be exceptional. Even in 2022, the name was given very rarely - in fact, only 5 times in the entire U.S. So, a Melida from 2022 will need very good binoculars to spot the next namesake of the same age.
Meeting a woman or girl named Melida is something really special. Out of all 50 states, women and girls named Melida can be found in only two: California and Texas. No other state currently has residents named Melida. However, we must admit that a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it’s quite possible that there are still a few women and girls called Melida living in one state or another (if your name is Melida and you live outside of California or Texas, we’d really appreciate it if you’d let us know so we can refine our statistics even further). Either way, the name is quite rare. The best chance of meeting a Melida is in Texas, as there live more women and girls with this name in relation to the population than in any other state. But even here in Texas, only 0.00079% of all female residents are named Melida – that’s just one in 127,335! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 117 women with that name. So, if your name is Melida, chances are you will never meet another woman with your beautiful first name.
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 Melida 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.
If your name is Melida and someone asks after your name, you can of course just tell them what it is. But sometimes that isn't so easy - what if it's too loud, and you don't understand them well? Or what if the other person is so far away that you can see them but not hear them? In these situations, you can communicate your name in so many other ways: you call spell it, sign it, or even use a flag to wave it...
So that everyone really understands you when you have to spell the name Melida, you can simply say:

Elephant
Lion

In the navy, sailors of two ships might wave flags to each other to send messages. A sailor holds two flags in specific positions to represent different letters.
