Qiyana is a first name for girls.
Recently, the name Qiyana 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 Qiyana. That means that a girl named Qiyana is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name her whole life.
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 six letters, the name Qiyana is of average length. In fact, 28% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly six letters. 24% of all first names are shorter, while 48% have seven letters or more. 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.
If your name is Qiyana 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 Qiyana, you can simply say:
Queen
Igloo
Yoyo
Apple
Nut
