Olena is a female first name.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Olena in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Olena in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Olena by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Olena ranks at #6,290. That means there are 6,289 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 Olena.
Meeting a woman or girl named Olena is something really special. Out of all 50 states, women and girls named Olena can be found in only two: Arkansas and North Carolina. No other state currently has residents named Olena. 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 Olena living in one state or another (if your name is Olena and you live outside of Arkansas or North Carolina, 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 Olena is in Arkansas, as there live more women and girls with this name in relation to the population than in any other state. But even here in Arkansas, only 0.00037% of all female residents are named Olena – that’s just one in 272,440! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 11 women with that name. So, if your name is Olena, 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 O is quite rare as a first letter for girls' names: only 1.0% of all common girls' names in the US begin with an O. By the way, the most common first letters of girls' names are A, S and M, while U, X and Q are the least common initials of girls' names.
With five letters, the name Olena 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 1.0% of all girls' names begin with an O, this initial letter is significantly less common than the other letters on average. However, individual girls' names with O are really popular, the most common currently being Olivia.
If your name is Olena 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 Olena, you can simply say:

Lion
Elephant
Nut
