Michela is a female first name.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Michela in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Michela in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Michela by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Michela ranks at #5,494. That means there are 5,493 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 Michela.
While Michela isn't one of the most popular names of all time, it does seem to have attracted parents especially in the second half of last century. In 1998 the name Michela reached its highest popularity with #1,529 in our ranking of all female first names. As it is so exquisite, mothers and fathers did not always come up with the idea of naming their daughter Michela. One might assume that this was because the name was only occasionally in keeping with the spirit of the times - and girls in those decades were given the unusual and beautiful name of Michela.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Michela was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, 17 babies were born with the name Michela. This puts the name in rank 5,851 in the SmartGenius statistics - or in other words, one in 8,719,524 newborns was named Michela that year. Ever since first names have been registered, Michela has been and remains marvelously unusual!
It is not so easy to find a woman or girl named Michela in the USA. Although the name is not sooooo rare overall, it is only at home in a few selected regions of the USA. In the entire United States there are currently a total of 626 women and girls named Michela, but there are vast areas of the country where not a single person with this name can be found. In fact, the 626 women and girls named Michela live in no more than 8 different states, including for example California, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts and New Jersey. In all other 41 states, there are no – or, to be precise, less than a handful – women called Michela. (To explain: The official statistics provide the data per state only if at least five women with a specific name live in the same state. So, it’s quite possible that there are one or two states where someone with the name Michela lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Michela and you live outside the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics.). The state with the most girls and women named Michela relative to its female population is Massachusetts. And even there, only one in 30,203 women and girls would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Michela.
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 Michela 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. 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 Michela 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 Michela, you can simply say:
Mouse
Igloo
Cat
