Nakita is a first name typically given to girls, but in rare cases also used as a boys name.

Nakita – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a girl named Nakita in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Nakita in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Nakita by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Nakita ranks at #9,314. That means there are 9,313 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 Nakita.

Nakita -
a Dinosaur?

Is the name Nakita a dinosaur? We would say: It's classic! Parents chose this name most often in 1986, when it ranked #645 with 269 newborn girls receiving this special first name. In times of emerging digitalization, it thus experienced its last peak. Since Nakita is both classic and fancy at the same time, people didn't always come up with the idea of giving their daughter this unusual name. So, if your name is Nakita, feel classic and not old-fashioned, because after all, you stand out with your name these days!

In years where the graph has no value, the name Nakita was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
