Valena is a first name for girls.
Recently, the name Valena 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 Valena. That means that a girl named Valena is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name her whole life.
If your name is Valena your parents may be very proud to let their daughter swim against the tide: The name Valena never ranked higher than position 1,480 in our statistics, and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea of naming their daughter Valena. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1907 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 Valena 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 Valena was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
As in the last century, Valena still proves to be exceptional. Even in 2022, the name was given very rarely - in fact, only 6 times in the entire U.S. So, a Valena from 2022 will need very good binoculars to spot the next namesake of the same age.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter V is quite rare as an initial letter for girls' names: only 1.6% of all common girls' names in the US begin with V, which means that this initial occurs only about half as often as the other letters on average. But V is by no means the rarest initial. While Q, X and U are the least common initials of girls' names, the most common first letters of girls' names are A, S and M.
With six letters, the name Valena 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.
From this follows that if 1.6% of all girls' names begin with a V, this initial letter is less common than the other letters on average. Incidentally, of the comparatively few girls' names that begin with a V, Virginia is currently the most common.
If your name is Valena 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 Valena, you can simply say:
Violin
Apple
Lion

These flags are used for maritime communication - each flag represents a letter.
In the navy, sailors of two ships might wave flags to each other to send messages. A sailor holds two flags in specific positions to represent different letters.
In Morse code, letters and other characters are represented only by a series of short and long tones. For example, a short tone followed by a long tone stands for the letter A. Valena sounds like this:
