The first name 
Melyna

Melyna is a first name for girls.

Melyna – one in 100,000!

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

Melyna -
at home in California and Texas

Meeting a woman or girl named Melyna is something really special. Out of all 50 states, women and girls named Melyna can be found in only two: California and Texas. No other state currently has residents named Melyna. 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 Melyna living in one state or another (if your name is Melyna 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 Melyna 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 0.00010% of all female residents are named Melyna – that’s just one in 994,194! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 20 women with that name. So, if your name is Melyna, chances are you will never meet another woman with your beautiful first name.

Melyna 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 Melyna 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.
