The first name 
Nely

Nely is a female first name.

Nely – a very rare name!

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

Nely -
once in a blue moon

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 be there, but you've never seen it? It's the same with Nely. Girls named Nely have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it a few years ago: At No. 3,216 Nely ranked higher than ever before in 1992. By comparison, there have been 102 years in which the first name Nely 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 2021. In general, parents name their daughters Nely only once in a blue moon, so girls and women with this name can consider themselves exceptional!

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

at home only in a few regions of the USA

And these 195 women are located in only three states: California, Georgia and Texas (it should be noted that the official statistics provide the data per state only if there are at least 5 women with this name in the state. So, if your name is Nely and you live outside the states marked on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics).

And yet even there, only one in 104,286 women would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Nely.

Nely has 4 letters 
and begins with an N

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 Nely 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.

Other names with
