The first name 
Samina

Samina is a first name for girls.

Samina – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a girl named Samina in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Samina in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Samina by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Samina ranks at #5,888. That means there are 5,887 more common girls names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Samina.

Samina -
special from day one

In fact, the name Samina hardly fits the trend of first names for girls. Between 1976 and 1999, young parents changed that a bit. For many years, Samina 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 1988, the name was more popular than ever. Although the name never ranked higher than position 4,410, 17 parents chose it in 1988 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Samina, 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 Samina was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

Samina - originality welcome!

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.
