Tehani is a first name for girls.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Tehani in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Tehani in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Tehani by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Tehani ranks at #6,783. That means there are 6,782 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 Tehani.
In fact, the name Tehani did not fit the trend of the last century. Young parents in the 2000s began to change that a bit. After several years of not being given at all (or less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), Tehani seemed to be more popular than ever in 2002. Although the name never ranked higher than #4,462, 24 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Tehani, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Tehani was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the yet rare name Tehani a few times. Among all newborn girls it ranked #7,418 - with a total of 12 baby girls. This means, as you can see above, that the name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it supposedly didn't appear at all for many years - giving girls with this first name a sheen of something particularly contemporary and special.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter T is a quite popular first letter for girls' names. Because: 6.3% of all common girls’ names in the US begin with this letter. By the way, the most common first letters for girls’ names are A, S and M.
With six letters, the name Tehani is of average length. In fact, 28% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly six letters. 24% of all first names are shorter, while 48% have seven 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.
With 6.3% of all girls' names that begin with a T, this first letter is thus much more common than all 26 letters on average - and the most popular one of all the girls’ names starting with T is Teresa.
If your name is Tehani 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...
