The first name 
Veta

Veta is a female first name.

Veta – a very rare name!

Recently, the name Veta 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 Veta. That means that a girl named Veta 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 Veta.

Veta -
at home only in a few regions of the USA

It is not so easy to find a woman or girl named Veta in the USA. Although the name is not sooooo rare overall, it is only at home in a few selected regions of the USA. In the entire United States there are currently a total of 344 women and girls named Veta, but there are vast areas of the country where not a single person with this name can be found. In fact, the 344 women and girls named Veta live in no more than 9 different states, including for example Arkansas, California, Colorado, Illinois and Kansas. In all other 40 states, there are no – or, to be precise, less than a handful – women called Veta. (To explain: The official statistics provide the data per state only if at least five women with a specific name live in the same state. So, it’s quite possible that there are one or two states where someone with the name Veta lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Veta and you live outside the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics.). The state with the most girls and women named Veta relative to its female population is Oklahoma. And even there, only one in 24,432 women and girls would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Veta.

Veta has 4 letters 
and begins with a V

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 four letters, the name Veta is shorter than most other given names. In fact, only 5.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly four letters. Just 1.2% of all first names are even shorter, while 93% consist of more than four 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.

Other names with 
V, e, t and a

If you take all the letters in the name Veta – V, e, t and a – and put them together again, you can form other names, such as Teva or Avet.
