The first name 
Minda

Minda is a female first name.

Minda – a very rare name!

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

Minda -
at home only in a few regions of the USA

It is not so easy to find a woman or girl named Minda 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 61 women and girls named Minda, but there are vast areas of the country where not a single person with this name can be found. In fact, the 61 women and girls named Minda live in no more than 7 different states, including for example California, Illinois, Michigan, New York and Ohio. In all other 42 states, there are no – or, to be precise, less than a handful – women called Minda. (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 Minda lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Minda 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 Minda relative to its female population is Oregon. And even there, only one in 264,757 women and girls would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Minda.

Minda has 5 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 five letters, the name Minda 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.
