The first name 
Qiana

Qiana is a female first name.

Qiana – a very rare name!

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

Qiana -
a Dinosaur?

Is the name Qiana a dinosaur? We would say: It's classic! Parents chose this name most often in 1978, when it ranked #491 with 370 newborn girls receiving this special first name. In times of emerging digitalization, it thus experienced its last peak. Since Qiana is both classic and fancy at the same time, people didn't always come up with the idea of giving their daughter this unusual name. So, if your name is Qiana, 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 Qiana was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

Qiana has 5 letters 
and begins with a Q

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The Q is really rare as a first letter for girls' names: only 0.4% of all common girls' names in the US begin with a Q. Only the letters U and Q are even rarer as the first letter of girls' names. By the way, the most common initial letters for girls’ names are A and S.

With five letters, the name Qiana 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.

That means that as 0.4% of all girls' names start with a Q, all other letters occur on average more than nine times as often as the Q. Of the comparatively few girls' names that begin with a Q, most are also not very common - the most popular currently is Queen.
