Rianna is a first name for girls.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Rianna 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 Rianna. In the SmartGenius ranking, Rianna is #3,708 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 Rianna.
Rianna is a fairly recent phenomenon. In the past, the name wasn't really on the radar of expectant parents. Then, unexpectedly, Rianna cried out for attention, reaching its peak in popularity at #810 in our SmartGenius statistics in the year 2002. People over 50 probably didn't have classmates named Rianna, for there were many years in which not a single parent chose this first name for their daughter. Although it also has never been in the top 100 of most popular first names, Rianna seems to have been in vogue for a while, especially since the beginning of the new millennium.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Rianna was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
27 babies were named Rianna in 2022 - that's 1 in 5,490,070 newborn girls. With this number, the girls' name Rianna ranked 4,321 in our SmartGenius first name statistics in 2022, the most recent year for which records are available.
You may not know anyone named Rianna, but there’s a good chance you live in the same state as someone with that name. In fact, 30 states are home to women and girls named Rianna. (To be fair, 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 entirely possible that there are still a few women and girls named Rianna living in one state or another. If your name is Rianna and you live outside of the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can refine our statistics even further). And while the first name is present in many states, it is still not one of the popular ones. In Florida, which has the most people named Rianna relative to the population, you still have to ask 23,836 women and girls their names before you hear Rianna as an answer just once.
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 Rianna 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.
If your name is Rianna 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...
