Willena is a female first name.
Recently, the name Willena 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 Willena. That means that a girl named Willena 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 Willena.
The first name Willena is a true rarity among all women and girls currently living in the United States – only 83 Americans in total bear this name. And these 83 women are located in only four states: Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi and Missouri (it should be noted that the official statistics provide the data per state only if there are at least 5 women with this name in the state. So, if your name is Willena and you live outside the states marked on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics). The state with the most girls and women named Willena in relation to it’s female population is Kentucky. And yet even there, only one in 72,341 women would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Willena.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The W is really rare as a first letter for girls' names: only 0.8% of all common girls' names in the US begin with a W. The most common first letters of girls' names, by the way, are A, S and M, while U, X and Q are the least common initials of girls' names.
With seven letters, the name Willena has a typical length for first names in the US. In fact, 26% of all common first names consist of exactly seven letters. 52% of all first names are shorter, while 22% have eight 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.
That means that if 0.8% of all girls' names start with a W, all other letters occur on average five times as often as the W. Nevertheless, individual girls' names with W are quite popular, the most common currently being Wanda.
If your name is Willena 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...
