Yamila is a female first name.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Yamila is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 3 out of 100,000 girls have been named Yamila. In the SmartGenius ranking, Yamila is #2,801 on the list of most common girls names. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Yamila.
In fact, the name Yamila did not fit the trend of the last century. Young parents in the 2000s began to change that a bit. After several years of not being given at all (or less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), Yamila seemed to be more popular than ever in 2017. Although the name never ranked higher than #1,484, 133 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Yamila, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Yamila was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the yet rare name Yamila a few times. Among all newborn girls it ranked #2,818 - with a total of 51 baby girls. This means, as you can see above, that the name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it supposedly didn't appear at all for many years - giving girls with this first name a sheen of something particularly contemporary and special.
It is not so easy to find a woman or girl named Yamila 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 419 women and girls named Yamila, but there are vast areas of the country where not a single person with this name can be found. In fact, the 419 women and girls named Yamila live in no more than 9 different states, including for example California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois and New York. In all other 40 states, there are no – or, to be precise, less than a handful – women called Yamila. (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 Yamila lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Yamila 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 Yamila relative to its female population is California. And even there, only one in 62,137 women and girls would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Yamila.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter Y is pretty rare as an initial letter for girls' names: only 1.8% of all common girls' names in the US begin with Y. By the way, the most common first letters of girls' names are A, S and M, while Q, X and U are the least common initials of girls' names.
With six letters, the name Yamila 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.
Since 1.8% of all girls’ names begin with a Y, this initial occurs only about half as often as the other letters on average, but Y is by no means the rarest initial. And of course, there are single names with Y that are very popular, currently the most common girls’ name that starts with Y is Yvonne.
If your name is Yamila 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...
