Vihana is a female first name.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Vihana in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Vihana in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Vihana by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Vihana ranks at #5,618. That means there are 5,617 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 Vihana.
Meeting a woman or girl named Vihana is something really special. Out of all 50 states, women and girls named Vihana can be found in only two: California and Texas. No other state currently has residents named Vihana. 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 Vihana living in one state or another (if your name is Vihana 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 Vihana is in Texas, as there live more women and girls with this name in relation to the population than in any other state. But even here in Texas, only 0.00016% of all female residents are named Vihana – that’s just one in 622,529! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 28 women with that name. So, if your name is Vihana, 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 six letters, the name Vihana 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 Vihana 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 Vihana, you can simply say:

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.
