Rina

Rina is a female first name.

When two girls called Rina meet...

… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Rina is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 4 out of 100,000 girls have been named Rina. In the SmartGenius ranking, Rina is #2,405 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 Rina.

Rina has 4 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 four letters, the name Rina is shorter than most other given names. In fact, only 5.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly four letters. Just 1.2% of all first names are even shorter, while 93% consist of more than four 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.

Other names with 
R, i, n and a

If you take all the letters in the name Rina – R, i, n and a – and put them together again, you can form other names, such as Rian or others.
