Yelitza is a first name for girls.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Yelitza is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 2 out of 100,000 girls have been named Yelitza. In the SmartGenius ranking, Yelitza is #3,806 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 Yelitza.
In fact, the name Yelitza hardly fits the trend of first names for girls. Between 1976 and 1999, young parents changed that a bit. For many years, Yelitza wasn't given at all (or at least less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), but by 1998, the name was more popular than ever. Although the name never ranked higher than position 2,111, 62 parents chose it in 1998 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Yelitza, you were already special when you were born - and you did your best to become a trendsetter.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Yelitza was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the rare name Yelitza a few times. Among all newborn girls, it ranked 3,797, for a total of 33 babies. The name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it didn't appear at all for a many years. As Yelitza seems to be a bit more popular in the middle of the 20th century, it proves to remain a great rarity in 2022.
It is not so easy to find a woman or girl named Yelitza 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 401 women and girls named Yelitza, but there are vast areas of the country where not a single person with this name can be found. In fact, the 401 women and girls named Yelitza live in no more than 8 different states, including for example Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia and Illinois. In all other 41 states, there are no – or, to be precise, less than a handful – women called Yelitza. (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 Yelitza lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Yelitza 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 Yelitza relative to its female population is California. And even there, only one in 77,269 women and girls would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Yelitza.
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 seven letters, the name Yelitza 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.
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 Yelitza 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...
