Rayanna is a female first name.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Rayanna is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 3 out of 100,000 girls have been named Rayanna. In the SmartGenius ranking, Rayanna is #3,320 on the list of most common girls names. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Rayanna.
In fact, the name Rayanna 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), Rayanna seemed to be more popular than ever in 2006. Although the name never ranked higher than #1,699, 112 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Rayanna, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Rayanna was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the yet rare name Rayanna a few times. Among all newborn girls it ranked #4,122 - with a total of 29 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.
The odds of living in the same statae as someone named Rayanna are about the same as meeting someone with blue eyes in the entire country – both odds are about 25 to 30 %. More precisely, the first name Rayanna is registered in 17 states, among which are Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida or Georgia. In proportion to the female population, most women and girls with the first name Rayanna live in California, and even there the name is rather special – only one in 65,122 would turn around if you called the name Rayanna across California.
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 seven letters, the name Rayanna has a typical length for first names in the US. In fact, 26% of all common first names consist of exactly seven letters. 52% of all first names are shorter, while 22% have eight 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.
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.
If your name is Rayanna 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...
