The first name 
Rhonda

Rhonda is a female first name. In very rare cases it is also used for boys.

Rhonda – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a girl named Rhonda in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Rhonda in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Rhonda by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Rhonda ranks at #5,360. That means there are 5,359 more common girls names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. In the entire USA, approximately 204,522 people – children, adults and seniors – currently bear the name Rhonda. That is 0.06 % of all living Americans.

Rhonda -
classic and modern at the same time

Who would have thought it? After many years of not appearing at all in the SmartGenius statistics, Rhonda reached its highest rank ever in the year 1965 at #37. In other words: 10,981 newborn girls were named Rhonda that year. Since then, it has been considered to be a universally popular name, chosen by a large number of happy parents every year. Although the times of its highest popularity are now many decades ago, Rhonda is still going strong and has not been forgotten yet. We can only wait and see if there will be a new surprise in store and if Rhonda will be able to top its all-time best ranking ever again.

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

Rhonda - a popular player in the midfield

In 2022, Rhonda ranked 5,665 in our SmartGenius statistics. In absolute figures, this means it was given to baby girls a total of 18 times. No one knows what names (or combinations of numbers and letters) will be popular 50 years from now, but given its consistent popularity, there is a good chance that Rhonda will remain a universally popular name.

Rhonda -
at home all over the USA, especially popular in Kentucky

Wherever you go, wherever you live – there’s a good chance to meet Rhonda. Because: There are women and girls named Rhonda in every state in the USA. This may sound quite unspectacular at first, but in fact, of the more than 50,000 different female first names that occur in the USA, just 537 are recorded in each individual state, so the name Rhonda is definitely something very special. In some regions it even makes it into the top 100 of the most popular female first names, for example in Oklahoma, where Rhonda ranks on place 99. The greatest chance of meeting Rhonda, however, is in Kentucky, where one in 429 girls and women bears this beautiful name – that is far above average – in the entire USA it is only one in 754 women and girls and in Utah, where the name is least represented in relation to the population, you even have to ask an average of 2,089 women and girls for their name before you once get Rhonda as an answer.

Rhonda has 6 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 six letters, the name Rhonda 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.

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.

Other names with 
R, h, o, n, d and a

If you take all the letters in the name Rhonda – R, h, o, n, d and a – and put them together again, you can form other names, such as Odhran or Rohnda.
