Reena is a first name for girls.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Reena is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 2 out of 100,000 girls have been named Reena. In the SmartGenius ranking, Reena is #4,713 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 Reena.
While Reena isn't one of the most popular names of all time, it does seem to have attracted parents especially in the second half of last century. In 1980 the name Reena reached its highest popularity with #1,232 in our ranking of all female first names. As it is so exquisite, mothers and fathers did not always come up with the idea of naming their daughter Reena. One might assume that this was because the name was only occasionally in keeping with the spirit of the times - and girls in those decades were given the unusual and beautiful name of Reena.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Reena was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, 10 babies were born with the name Reena. This puts the name in rank 8,408 in the SmartGenius statistics - or in other words, one in 14,823,190 newborns was named Reena that year. Ever since first names have been registered, Reena has been and remains marvelously unusual!
It is not so easy to find a woman or girl named Reena in the USA. Although the name is not sooooo rare overall, it is only at home in a few selected regions of the USA. In the entire United States there are currently a total of 685 women and girls named Reena, but there are vast areas of the country where not a single person with this name can be found. In fact, the 685 women and girls named Reena live in no more than 7 different states, including for example California, Georgia, Illinois, New Jersey and New York. In all other 42 states, there are no – or, to be precise, less than a handful – women called Reena. (To explain: The official statistics provide the data per state only if at least five women with a specific name live in the same state. So, it’s quite possible that there are one or two states where someone with the name Reena lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Reena and you live outside the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics.). The state with the most girls and women named Reena relative to its female population is California. And even there, only one in 46,603 women and girls would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Reena.
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 Reena 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.
If your name is Reena 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...
