Veena is a female first name.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Veena in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Veena in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Veena by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Veena ranks at #8,763. That means there are 8,762 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 Veena.
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 Veena. Girls named Veena have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it many years ago: Reaching pos. 3,872 Veena ranked higher than ever in 1967. By comparison, there have been 85 years in which the first name Veena 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 1971. In general, parents name their daughters Veena 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 Veena was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, Veena continues to be a precious jewel: 13 newborns were named Veena that year, ranking #6,991 in the SmartGenius name statistics. If your baby's name is Veena, you must have a flair for beautiful and rare names: Congratulations, your child is sure to feel unique.
Meeting a woman or girl named Veena is something really special. Out of all 50 states, women and girls named Veena can be found in only two: California and Indiana. No other state currently has residents named Veena. 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 Veena living in one state or another (if your name is Veena and you live outside of California or Indiana, 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 Veena is in Indiana, as there live more women and girls with this name in relation to the population than in any other state. But even here in Indiana, only 0.00014% of all female residents are named Veena – that’s just one in 716,989! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 11 women with that name. So, if your name is Veena, 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 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 five letters, the name Veena 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.
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 Veena 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...
