Shivani is a first name for girls.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Shivani 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 Shivani. In the SmartGenius ranking, Shivani is #3,550 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 Shivani.
In fact, the name Shivani hardly fits the trend of first names for girls. Between 1976 and 1999, young parents changed that a bit. For many years, Shivani 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 1995, the name was more popular than ever. Although the name never ranked higher than position 1,205, 130 parents chose it in 1995 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Shivani, 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 Shivani was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the rare name Shivani a few times. Among all newborn girls, it ranked 5,090, for a total of 21 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 Shivani seems to be a bit more popular in the middle of the 20th century, it proves to remain a great rarity in 2022.

In proportion to the female population, most women and girls with the first name Shivani live in New Jersey, and even there the name is rather special – only one in 14,364 would turn around if you called the name Shivani 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 seven letters, the name Shivani has a typical length for first names in the US. In fact, 26% of all common first names consist of exactly seven letters. 52% of all first names are shorter, while 22% have eight 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 Shivani 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...
