Tonna is a first name for girls.
Recently, the name Tonna has been given only a handful of times a year and is therefore particularly rare, at least in the US. In recent years, not even one girl in 100,000 has been named Tonna. That means that a girl named Tonna is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name her whole life. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Tonna.
Do you know the feeling when you go to the zoo and the animal that is supposed to be in the enclosure is not there? You know it should to be there, but you've never seen it? It's the same with Tonna. Girls named Tonna have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it many years ago: Reaching pos. 1,873 Tonna ranked higher than ever in 1966. By comparison, there have been 86 years in which the first name Tonna has not been given at all (or less than 5 times, which is the minimum number required for a name to be included in the statistics), most recently in 2022. In general, parents name their daughters Tonna only once in a blue moon, so girls and women with this name can consider themselves really special!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Tonna was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
Meeting a woman or girl named Tonna is something really special. Out of all 50 states, women and girls named Tonna can be found in only two: California and Texas. No other state currently has residents named Tonna. However, we must admit that a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it’s quite possible that there are still a few women and girls called Tonna living in one state or another (if your name is Tonna and you live outside of California or Texas, we’d really appreciate it if you’d let us know so we can refine our statistics even further). Either way, the name is quite rare. The best chance of meeting a Tonna is in California, as there live more women and girls with this name in relation to the population than in any other state. But even here in California, only 0.00007% of all female residents are named Tonna – that’s just one in 1,355,719! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 16 women with that name. So, if your name is Tonna, chances are you will never meet another woman with your beautiful first name.
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 five letters, the name Tonna is comparatively short. In fact, 17.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly five letters. Only 7% of all first names are even shorter, while 75% have more than five 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.
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 Tonna 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...
