Milka is a first name for girls.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Milka in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Milka in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Milka by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Milka ranks at #7,953. That means there are 7,952 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 Milka.
In fact, the name Milka did not fit the trend of the last century. Young parents in the 2000s began to change that a bit. After several years of not being given at all (or less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), Milka seemed to be more popular than ever in 2001. Although the name never ranked higher than #4,390, 24 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Milka, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Milka was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the yet rare name Milka a few times. Among all newborn girls it ranked #13,280 - with a total of 5 baby girls. This means, as you can see above, that the name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it supposedly didn't appear at all for many years - giving girls with this first name a sheen of something particularly contemporary and special.
Meeting a woman or girl named Milka is something really special. Out of all 50 states, women and girls named Milka can be found in only two: California and Texas. No other state currently has residents named Milka. 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 Milka living in one state or another (if your name is Milka 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 Milka 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 0.00025% of all female residents are named Milka – that’s just one in 400,197! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 33 women with that name. So, if your name is Milka, 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 five letters, the name Milka is comparatively short. In fact, 17.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly five letters. Only 7% of all first names are even shorter, while 75% have more than five letters. 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 Milka 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 Milka, you can simply say:
