Orma is a female first name.
Recently, the name Orma 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 Orma. That means that a girl named Orma 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 Orma.
Is the name Orma a dinosaur? We would say: It's classic! Chosen by 20 parents, the name was given most frequently in 1905 – at that time, it ranked #768. It thus experienced its last peak in a world without internet and cell phones, even before the first personal computer was built. (Do you remember? Those were those big boxes that couldn't even begin to do what a simple robot vacuum cleaner can do today). Since Orma is both classic and fancy at the same time, people didn't always come up with the idea of giving their child this unusual name. So, if your name is Orma, feel classic and not old-fashioned, because after all, you stand out with your name these days!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Orma was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
If you are reading this and you know someone with the name Orma born in 2022, please get in touch with us. Because we could not find any newborn girls with this name for the said year.

The first name Orma is a true rarity among all women and girls currently living in the United States – only 20 Americans in total bear this name. And these 20 women are located in only three states: Illinois, Ohio and Pennsylvania (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 Orma and you live outside the states marked on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics). The state with the most girls and women named Orma in relation to it’s female population is Ohio. And yet even there, only one in 709,678 women would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Orma.
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 four letters, the name Orma 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.
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 Orma 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...
