The first name 
Queena

Queena is a female first name.

Queena – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a girl named Queena in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Queena in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Queena by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Queena ranks at #5,019. That means there are 5,018 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 Queena.

once in a blue moon

Girls named Queena have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it a few years ago: At No. 2,758 Queena ranked higher than ever before in 1981. By comparison, there have been 91 years in which the first name Queena has not been given at all (or less than 5 times, which is the minimum number required for a name to be included in the statistics), most recently in 2001. In general, parents name their daughters Queena only once in a blue moon, so girls and women with this name can consider themselves exceptional!

Queena -
at home in California and New York

Meeting a woman or girl named Queena is something really special. Out of all 50 states, women and girls named Queena can be found in only two: California and New York. No other state currently has residents named Queena. However, we must admit that a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it’s quite possible that there are still a few women and girls called Queena living in one state or another (if your name is Queena and you live outside of California or New York, we’d really appreciate it if you’d let us know so we can refine our statistics even further). Either way, the name is quite rare. The best chance of meeting a Queena is in California, as there live more women and girls with this name in relation to the population than in any other state. But even here in California, only 0.00095% of all female residents are named Queena – that’s just one in 105,021! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 241 women with that name. So, if your name is Queena, chances are you will never meet another woman with your beautiful first name.

Queena has 6 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 six letters, the name Queena 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.
