Serafina is a first name for girls.
Serafina is a well-known name in the US, but is still special. It is currently only given to every ten thousandth girl, and therefore ranks at 1,474 in the SmartGenius statistics. This means there are 1,473 girls names that are more common, but also tens of thousands that are much rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Serafina.
If your name is Serafina your parents may be very proud to let their daughter swim against the tide: The name Serafina never ranked higher than position 1,129 in our statistics, and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea of naming their daughter Serafina. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1901 to choose the name more often than usual - only compared to the rest of the time, of course. You probably still won't find many children named Serafina because that was several decades ago - unless, of course, you have some very creative parents in the neighborhood.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Serafina was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
As in the last century, Serafina still proves to be exceptional. Even in 2022, the name was given very rarely - in fact, only 169 times in the entire U.S. So, a Serafina from 2022 will need very good binoculars to spot the next namesake of the same age.
The odds of living in the same statae as someone named Serafina are about the same as meeting someone with blue eyes in the entire country – both odds are about 25 to 30 %. More precisely, the first name Serafina is registered in 15 states, among which are California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida or Illinois. In proportion to the female population, most women and girls with the first name Serafina live in New Jersey, and even there the name is rather special – only one in 24,903 would turn around if you called the name Serafina across New Jersey.
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 eight letters, the name Serafina is long compared to other names. In fact, 14.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly eight letters. 78% of all first names are shorter, while only 8% of all boys’ and girls’ names use nine letters or even more. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long with 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 Serafina 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...
