Sena is a first name for girls, occasionally also given to boys.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Sena is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 3 out of 100,000 girls have been named Sena. In the SmartGenius ranking, Sena is #3,074 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 Sena.
For more than 140 years, parents decide to name their daughter Sena annualy. This means that there have been girls named Sena who witnessed the first Labor Day parade in the U.S. or followed Albert Einstein's career. The name has 'always been there', but never ranked in the top 100, and thus women named Sena have consistently been special. The name was particularly popular a long time ago in the 19th century. In one particular year, long before the first passenger flight and even before there was the first real radio, parents liked Sena even more than any other time: in 1884, it holds its present record of rank #376 in the list of the most popular girls' names.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Sena was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
Sena has never been ranked higher than #376. In 2022, she rivaled the 2,582 names that preceded her on the list. In total, 52 girls named Sena were born in that year. For comparison: 30 years earlier, in 1992, when possibly the parents of the now very young Sena were born, there have been 15 newborns who received this name.
It is not so easy to find a woman or girl named Sena 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 234 women and girls named Sena, but there are vast areas of the country where not a single person with this name can be found. In fact, the 234 women and girls named Sena live in no more than 7 different states, including for example California, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota and New Jersey. In all other 42 states, there are no – or, to be precise, less than a handful – women called Sena. (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 Sena lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Sena 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 Sena relative to its female population is California. And even there, only one in 127,461 women and girls would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Sena.
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 four letters, the name Sena 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.
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 Sena 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...
So that everyone really understands you when you have to spell the name Sena, you can simply say:
