Nelta is a female first name.
Recently, the name Nelta 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 Nelta. That means that a girl named Nelta 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 Nelta.
Do you know the feeling when you go to the zoo and the animal that is supposed to be in the enclosure is not there? You know it should to be there, but you've never seen it? It's the same with Nelta. Girls named Nelta have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it many years ago: Reaching pos. 1,326 Nelta ranked higher than ever in 1939. By comparison, there have been 101 years in which the first name Nelta has not been given at all (or less than 5 times, which is the minimum number required for a name to be included in the statistics), most recently in 2022. In general, parents name their daughters Nelta only once in a blue moon, so girls and women with this name can consider themselves really special!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Nelta was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
Meeting a woman or girl named Nelta is something really special. Out of all 50 states, women and girls named Nelta can be found in only two: Arkansas and Texas. No other state currently has residents named Nelta. 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 Nelta living in one state or another (if your name is Nelta and you live outside of Arkansas 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 Nelta 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 0.00070% of all female residents are named Nelta – that’s just one in 143,661! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 83 women with that name. So, if your name is Nelta, 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 five letters, the name Nelta 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.
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 Nelta 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...
