Pola is a first name for girls.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Pola in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Pola in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Pola by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Pola ranks at #7,069. That means there are 7,068 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 Pola.
If your name is Pola your parents may be very proud to let their daughter swim against the tide: The name Pola never ranked higher than position 1,518 in our statistics, and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea of naming their daughter Pola. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1926 to choose the name more often than usual - only compared to the rest of the time, of course. You probably still won't find many children named Pola because that was several decades ago - unless, of course, you have some very creative parents in the neighborhood.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Pola was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
As in the last century, Pola still proves to be exceptional. Even in 2022, the name was given very rarely - in fact, only 11 times in the entire U.S. So, a Pola from 2022 will need very good binoculars to spot the next namesake of the same age.
The first name Pola is a true rarity among all women and girls currently living in the United States – only 84 Americans in total bear this name. And these 84 women are located in only four states: California, Illinois, New York 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 Pola 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 Pola in relation to it’s female population is Illinois. And yet even there, only one in 291,104 women would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Pola.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter P is quite rare as an initial letter for girls' names: only 1.6% of all common girls' names in the US begin with a P, which means that this initial occurs only about half as often as the other letters on average. Nevertheless, P is by no means the rarest initial. While A, S and M are the most common first letters of girls' names, Q, X and U are the least common initials of feminine first names.
With four letters, the name Pola 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.
That means that since 1.6% of all girls’ names begin with a P, this initial occurs less than half as often as the other letters on average. By the way, of the comparatively few girls' names that begin with a P, Patricia is currently the most common.
If your name is Pola 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 Pola, you can simply say:
