The first name 
Melissaann

Melissaann is a female first name.

Melissaann – a very rare name!

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

Melissaann -
at home in California and New York

Meeting a woman or girl named Melissaann is something really special. Out of all 50 states, women and girls named Melissaann can be found in only two: California and New York. No other state currently has residents named Melissaann. 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 Melissaann living in one state or another (if your name is Melissaann and you live outside of California or New York, 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 Melissaann is in California, as there live more women and girls with this name in relation to the population than in any other state. But even here in California, only 0.00018% of all female residents are named Melissaann – that’s just one in 552,330! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 33 women with that name. So, if your name is Melissaann, chances are you will never meet another woman with your beautiful first name.

Melissaann has 10 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 ten letters, the name Melissaann is obviously a particularly long first name used in the U.S.: only 1.8% of all common first names have exactly ten letters. 98% of all first names are shorter, while only 0.6% of all boys’ and girls’ names need more than ten 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.
