The first name 
Rania

Rania is a female first name.

Rania is a well-known but special name!

Rania is a well-known name in the US, but is still special. It is currently only given to every ten thousandth girl, and therefore ranks at 1,891 in the SmartGenius statistics. This means there are 1,890 girls names that are more common, but also tens of thousands that are much rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Rania.

Rania -
ahead of the curve

In fact, the name Rania did not fit the trend of the last century. Young parents in the 2000s began to change that a bit. After several years of not being given at all (or less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), Rania seemed to be more popular than ever in 2006. Although the name never ranked higher than #1,543, 128 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Rania, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.

In years where the graph has no value, the name Rania was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

Rania in 2022 – originality welcome!

In 2022, expectant parents chose the yet rare name Rania a few times. Among all newborn girls it ranked #2,261 - with a total of 70 baby girls. This means, as you can see above, that the name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it supposedly didn't appear at all for many years - giving girls with this first name a sheen of something particularly contemporary and special.

quite rare in all states

Rania has 5 letters 
and begins with an R

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter R is neither particularly common nor particularly rare as a first letter for girls' names: 4.1% of all common girls' names in the US begin with this letter. The most common first letters of girls' names are A and S, while X and U are the least common initials of girls' names.

With five letters, the name Rania 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.

Thus, it follows that if 4.1% of all girls' names start with an R, this initial letter occurs about as often as all 26 letters on average. And maybe interesting to know: Rebecca is the girls’ name starting with R, which is the most common of all.
