The first name 
Virna

Virna is a first name for girls.

Virna – a very rare name!

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

Virna -
at home in California and New York

Meeting a woman or girl named Virna is something really special. Out of all 50 states, women and girls named Virna can be found in only two: California and New York. No other state currently has residents named Virna. 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 Virna living in one state or another (if your name is Virna and you live outside of California or New York, 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 Virna is in New York, as there live more women and girls with this name in relation to the population than in any other state. But even here in New York, only 0.00036% of all female residents are named Virna – that’s just one in 277,519! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 48 women with that name. So, if your name is Virna, chances are you will never meet another woman with your beautiful first name.

Virna has 5 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 five letters, the name Virna 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.

Other names with
