Sakina is a first name for girls.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Sakina 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 Sakina. In the SmartGenius ranking, Sakina is #3,558 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 Sakina.
In fact, the name Sakina hardly fits the trend of first names for girls. Between 1976 and 1999, young parents changed that a bit. For many years, Sakina wasn't given at all (or at least less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), but by 1979, the name was more popular than ever. Although the name never ranked higher than position 2,473, 33 parents chose it in 1979 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Sakina, you were already special when you were born - and you did your best to become a trendsetter.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Sakina was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the rare name Sakina a few times. Among all newborn girls, it ranked 2,698, for a total of 54 babies. The name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it didn't appear at all for a many years. As Sakina seems to be a bit more popular in the middle of the 20th century, it proves to remain a great rarity in 2022.
It is not so easy to find a woman or girl named Sakina 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 364 women and girls named Sakina, but there are vast areas of the country where not a single person with this name can be found. In fact, the 364 women and girls named Sakina live in no more than 9 different states, including for example California, Florida, Illinois, Maryland and New Jersey. In all other 40 states, there are no – or, to be precise, less than a handful – women called Sakina. (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 Sakina lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Sakina 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 Sakina relative to its female population is New York. And even there, only one in 82,870 women and girls would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Sakina.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter S is a very popular first letter for girls' names. That’s because 9.3% of all common girls’ names in the US begin with this letter. Only the first letter A is more common for girls' names.
With six letters, the name Sakina 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.
That means that if 9.3% of all girls' names start with an S, this initial letter occurs nearly three times as often as all other letters on average. And by the way: Of all the girls' names that start with an S, Susan is the most common.
If your name is Sakina 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...
