Zana is a first name for girls.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Zana in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Zana in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Zana by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Zana ranks at #5,094. That means there are 5,093 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 Zana.
The odds of living in the same statae as someone named Zana are about the same as meeting someone with blue eyes in the entire country – both odds are about 25 to 30 %. More precisely, the first name Zana is registered in 18 states, among which are Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia or Illinois. In proportion to the female population, most women and girls with the first name Zana live in Georgia, and even there the name is rather special – only one in 126,069 would turn around if you called the name Zana across Georgia.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter Z is quite rare as a first letter for girls' names: only 1.9% of all common girls' names in the US begin with Z. By the way, the most common first letters of girls' names are A, S and M, while U, X and Q are the least common initials of girls' names.
With four letters, the name Zana is shorter than most other given names. In fact, only 5.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly four letters. Just 1.2% of all first names are even shorter, while 93% consist of more than four 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.
That means that with 1.9% of all girls' names beginning with a Z, this initial letter is less common than the other letters on average. Nevertheless, there are girls' names with Z that are quite popular, the most common at present is Zoe.
If your name is Zana 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...
