Oriana is a female first name.
Oriana is a well-known name in the US, but is still special. It is currently only given to every ten thousandth girl, and therefore ranks at 1,825 in the SmartGenius statistics.

If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Oriana.
In fact, the name Oriana hardly fits the trend of first names for girls. Between 1976 and 1999, young parents changed that a bit.

Although the name never ranked higher than position 1,235, 133 parents chose it in 1998 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names.

As Oriana seems to be a bit more popular in the middle of the 20th century, it proves to remain a great rarity in 2022.
