Solveig is a first name for girls.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Solveig in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Solveig in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Solveig by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Solveig ranks at #5,215. That means there are 5,214 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 Solveig.
If your name is Solveig your parents may be very proud to let their daughter swim against the tide: The name Solveig never ranked higher than position 1,616 in our statistics, and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea of naming their daughter Solveig. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1913 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 Solveig 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 Solveig was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
As in the last century, Solveig still proves to be exceptional. Even in 2022, the name was given very rarely - in fact, only 32 times in the entire U.S. So, a Solveig from 2022 will need very good binoculars to spot the next namesake of the same age.
The first name Solveig is a true rarity among all women and girls currently living in the United States – only 114 Americans in total bear this name. And these 114 women are located in only four states: Minnesota, New York, North Dakota and Washington (it should be noted that the official statistics provide the data per state only if there are at least 5 women with this name in the state. So, if your name is Solveig and you live outside the states marked on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics). The state with the most girls and women named Solveig in relation to it’s female population is Minnesota. And yet even there, only one in 31,581 women would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Solveig.
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 Solveig 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 Solveig 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 Solveig, you can simply say:
Sun
Orange
Lion
Violin
Elephant
Igloo
Goat
