Neli is a first name for girls.
Recently, the name Neli 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 Neli. That means that a girl named Neli 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 Neli.
In fact, the name Neli 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), Neli seemed to be more popular than ever in 2022. Although the name never ranked higher than #6,358, 15 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Neli, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Neli was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
Meeting a woman or girl named Neli is something really special. Out of all 50 states, women and girls named Neli can be found in only two: California and Texas. No other state currently has residents named Neli. 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 Neli living in one state or another (if your name is Neli 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 Neli 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 0.00014% of all female residents are named Neli – that’s just one in 710,139! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 26 women with that name. So, if your name is Neli, 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 N is neither particularly common nor particularly rare as a first letter for girls' names: 4.1% of all common girls' names in the US begin with this letter. By the way, the most common first letters of girls' names are A and S, while X and U are the least common initials of girls' names.
With four letters, the name Neli is shorter than most other given names. In fact, only 5.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly four letters. Just 1.2% of all first names are even shorter, while 93% consist of more than four 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.
Thus, it follows that with 4.1% of all girls' names starting with an N, this initial letter occurs about as often as all 26 letters on average. Nevertheless, there are girls' names with N that are quite common, the most common in the U.S. at present is Nancy.
If your name is Neli 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 Neli, you can simply say:
