The first name 
Urbana

Urbana is a first name for girls.

Urbana – a very rare name!

Recently, the name Urbana 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 Urbana. That means that a girl named Urbana is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name her whole life.

Urbana

Urbana has 6 letters 
and begins with a U

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter U is the rarest initial for girls' names in the US. Only 0.2% of all common girls' names begin with this letter. Incidentally, the second-rarest first letter of girls' names is X, and the most common first letters are A and S.

With six letters, the name Urbana 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.

That means that with 0.2% of all girls' names starting with an X, all other letters occur on average nearly twenty times as often as the U. Moreover, of the comparatively few girls' names that start with X, most of them aren't very common either - the most popular one currently is Ursula.
